A lot of defensive breakdowns tonight, and I don't get why we saw Zadorov - Gilbert on the ice against MacKinnon/Rantanen line. That was a mismatch that Colorado gladly used.
I'm also still intrigued by Hanifin - Tanev and Weegar - Andersson as the top two pairings going forward. Ever since being hit by a truck Andersson, understandably, seems a bit off. Sutter doesn't seem like he's going to try it at any time soon.
Aside from that I'm just jealous of all the skill Colorado has. Wish the Flames could score at will like that. I liked the frustration, and the rough stuff and the attempt to fight back. Unfortunately, they didn't help, but it was still a fun game if we don't look at the score too closely.
