Ignore Klingberg and step away from all these after whistle scrums where for wte reason the refs seem content to always even up calls. 5 on 5 this team has shown its dominance all year long, so why allow the Stars the luxury of not facing the top 5 on 5 line all year long for large portions of the game?? Straighten that out and the Flames should start finding the back of the twine.

I stand to be corrected but I think Tkachuk initiated both “fights” against Klingberg. Mangiapane trying to mix it up after the whistle is also doing absolutely nothing. It’s like they think they know what playoff hockey looks like but that’s all window dressing to what happens between the whistles.
I agree about the 4-on-4 play; for all the talk about Dallas clogging up the middle of the ice, the Flames haven’t fared well with more room out there and I believe Dallas has the edge 1-0 at 4-on-4. I think Dallas is very comfortable playing this way for the rest of the series.
