[Flames0910]

Everyone looking to blame the D but IDK... yes they got outplayed but look at what they had to face. Sometimes you gotta give credit to the other team, even when it's the Oilers. McDavid elevated his game to the point where the entire team had to be aware of him at all times (course he also had some help from the stripes). And when the Flames did manage to neutralize his scoring opportunities it created room for the other schmucks on his line.

Tanev returned too late but was a warrior.
Kylington was playing his first playoffs without his season-long partner.
Hanifin and Anderson did OK in their own end but got too aggressive on the attack.
Zadorov and Gudbranson were scared to hit because of all the penalties.

Plus they were all on edge because if you even looked at an Oilers player the wrong way this year the refs were sending players to the box.

Losing 4-1 stinks but they were close games tied in the third period. We'd probably be going back to Edmonton tomorrow if it weren't for Toronto stepping in to steal the win.
