MacKinnon has played 16:41 through two periods. Only Tyson Barrie (18:08) has played more -- on either team.

No series has ever been won or lost in game 2.

Flames need to start skating and putting pressure on the Avs defence. Too much sitting back and allowing the Avs to gain the zone.

As for Brodie...WTF???

I have a feeling we're going to hear from Mackinnon before this game is over.

He is fine. He is playing great. If only our top line C played like him for 8 minutes a game....

Yes, he had the third assist on the goal. They only count two assists in the modern era. He was robbed.

I know I've posted this before, but I can't look at Elliotte and not see Dan Halen:

Here's the saving grace for me.... The avs have played awesome tonight, yet are tied.

Can the flames show up for the 3rd?

Hi Dial a Delivery, I'd like a 26oz of Crown.
No problem, we'll be there in 30min, that will be $58.99 + tip
Uh ok
Can I interest you in a 2L of Coke for $12.99?

The point is, their top line will not be able to keep this pace up over a long series, especially if they play huge minutes every night. The Flames will wear out the Avs if it goes 6 or 7.

Man, if we had MacKinnon we'd have been ahead of Tampa in the standings.

Flames need to pick it up. Stop letting the Avs take control.

16 feels low for MacKinnon, I would have said around 18-19. Either way let's hope he's a little tired. He's a fantastic player and can win this game by himself, the Flames need to contain him more than they have so far.

I'm hoping Peters tightens up the bench in the 3rd period. I want to see a lot more of Lindholm, Monahan, and Gaudreau. They are the 3 Flames players closest to even in 5 v 5 shot attempts tonight ~45%, ~44%, and ~43% respectively. Get them out there tons. Monahan and Gaudreau have both played less than 10 minutes total.

McKinnon is just as flashy and dynamic as McSniffles, but with more of a give a #### attitude.
