Did you not watch game 3? Did you see the Flames finishing any hits to gain momentum back, especially in the 3rd? No you didn't and it looked like I was watching 2 hand touch hockey with players wearing no hit orange practice vests.
It's funny, even when Lucic "hit" Mike Smith, he actually wasn't even trying to hit him, you can see his knees and blades are in full breaking position. It's great to see that Mike Smith was prepared to embellish his fall there - I remember him doing this acting performance when he was on the Coyotes in our playoff run to the Western Conference Finals.
Do I have to remind you again about Gaudreau being terrified of walking the puck through the neutral zone? We obviously don't have to discuss him being at the ends of the ice in the corners, especially after a puck is dumped in.
By the way, Dino - you're right, the video of Weller destroying 3 players on the Blue Jackets isn't really there to show what the Flames should've done in game 3 but to further elaborate on what I was telling Steve on players attacking a player who delivered a good clean and legal hit. However, the video does show what I wish the Flames did in game 3, which was finishing hits to get the momentum to swing back in their favor and silence the Oilers crowd.

I haven't seen the Yotes winning anything, ever...despite this amazing hit from 15 years ago in a regular season game.
its just a ridiculously odd reference...Flames should play like they did in game one with better goaltending. Not emulate a Yotes regular season game from 15 years ago lol.
