[djsFlames]

Who was it that said the refs "figured out" Tkachuk and weren't calling any penalties on his behalf any more lol.

Exactly. I choose to listen to them.

I know, I know........it's always Geoff Ward's fault for everything, but it is amazing when the players actually play with the intensity they are capable of that positive things happen.

And I am saying that when they are in the offensive zone, the pressure is there.

But in the defensive zone, it looks like they are playing without intensity because they collapse to the middle. And because they spend so much time in their own zone, it looks like they play with no intensity

Power play struggles continue.
Cannot take the zone, cannot get set, cannot differentiate between dump and clogged neutral zone flaws once again.

Puck bouncing all over in the Cancuks end.

Time to pull Tkachuk from PP1. Put on Lucic and plant his butt in front of the net.

Shorthouse is one of the best in the biz.

Good observation..

0 for 1 with zero shots. Good thing they’re evening up those PP calls

Mind you - the only time they made it in with control was on the much maligned bump back (right when Hrudey said they did it too late).

Their ice sucks worse than the dome.

I swear earlier in the season we got setup in the offensive zone so easy.

[PaperBagger'14]

Valimaki had 2 terrible rushing attempts on that PP, just brutal

We can’t even take the zone with the puck, we could swap Tkachuk for a safety cone and it wouldn’t make the difference.

Vancouver stand the line and the flames forwards for whatever reason do too, so can’t shake it in and our forwards can’t skate fast enough to beat Vancouver on the dump. Same thing as the last 2 games.
