Woof. Brutal game. Not sure what the Flames' game plan is, but clearly trying to limit McDavid by whatever they are trying to do isn't working that well. I might get some hate for saying this, but trying to lock down and stifle the Oilers isn't going to work. Oilers are the kind of team you need to score on repeatedly, than when they try to work their way back up, you score on them again. It's been proven to work on them in the past and as much as run 'n' gun hockey normally isn't the answer, this isn't a normal series as long as the McDavid cheat code is around. Flames can win in a multitude of way, but trying to make this a Dallas series is clearly going to result in losses.

So I say let McD get is 3-4 points a game and ramp up the score as much as possible. If you're going to make the finals, you need to win each series in different ways. Dallas was the defensive battle. This one is the balls to the wall, score the as much as possible-type series.

I dunno, might just be me rambling. But frustrating seeing how this team has literally no answer to shutdown McDavid.
