And what a brutal turn of events. Tyler scores on the PP and it’s back to 3-1. You think we lock it down in the manner described above. But nope. Chucky gets involved in extra curricular activity with Nurse and that’s it, game, set and match.
Stay disciplined and it’s 2 games for us and likely a short series.
And that folks could be the irreversible turning point.
Sorry but I’m really disappointed in Sutter and the entire group right now.

Did people actually think this was going to be a short series? That Calgary would just plow through the Oilers with no pushback? Heck, we saw in game 1 they’re capable of scoring 6 if we’re not on our game.
I 100% agree the sequence after the Toffoli goal gave them momentum, Nurse is literally just turning after getting a new stick, Tkachuk has to leave that stuff alone. But we had chances to win that game, just like we will in game 3. It will be a long series and both teams have shown the ability to respond. It’s our turn to push back after a bad second period and sloppy third period.
