Did you actually expect any Flame to outscore McDavid and Draisaitl, especially when they’re together? That’s not realistic. They’re the most dominant duo in the league.
The Flames depth and supposed advantage in goal is what we were suppose to have on the Oilers. But so far, Markstrom has not looked like a $6M difference maker and the Oilers have matched our depth scoring.
If the third line isn’t bringing any scoring to the table, then they can’t get scored on. But these 3 are a combined -8 in 2 games. So they’re hurting the team more than they’re helping.
If the Flames want to win this series, they’ll need a solution in goal and all 4 lines have to contribute to beat McDavid’s superhuman play.
