So yeah the top unit did their job and the 2nd unit was sheltered, but there's not much they can do without the last change and against a guy that plays a lot.
Let your agenda go man, it doesn't fit the actual stats.

I stand corrected.
Thank you for correcting the way I saw the game.
Where did you get these statistics?
Watching the game it seemed that McDavid played a lot where the stats showed that he had low ice time game (for him). 19:32 last year he averaged 21:08 per game..
The Flames did not force them to play him more.
Funny game with ice-time: Monahan only 16:34 Gaudreau 18:23 in a game where the Flames were trailing and badly needed a goal or at least a momentum shift that the top line should provide.
If as your stats seem to indicate the top-5 unit was carrying the play it sure would have made sense to play them more and let Edmonton adapt.
