3-1 is where you play mindful hockey, bide your time and wait for the opponent to take their risks to pounce. Not the other way around.
Playing to run the opponent out of the building 6 or 7-1 was the Flames biggest mistake.
At 3-1 you clog it up, slow it down, lean on guys, hit them, close the gaps on them, stand up at the blue line. Chip pucks deep, cycles your 4 lines.
We invited them into pond hockey round 2 instead of just bloody managing our multi-goal lead.
Team is too goal hungry and offensive-minded at times when they don't need to be. Got greedy, paid for it.
