How many times did our d hit shin pads causing a break the other way. This and sone cute plays on entry were disastrous. Team needs to play the blue collar hard working forcheck getting it deep to win.

LA also got blown out of the water twice, and simply didn't have the horses to trade punches with the Oilers like the Flames can. They really had no choice but to double down on defending.
I agree with you though - relentless forecheck is key for Calgary. Keeps Edmonton far from Markstrom, and creates more chances. Tonight they seemed preoccupied with defending. I think this was an error. More offense is what they really needed.
