[GT] Game 3 Battle of Alberta

[troutman]

Feels like they broke our spirit in Game 2.

[Jason14h]

18 guys focused on stopping McDavid and non on scoring or puck possession

We let McDavid get 4 pts in game 1 and won by 3. Last 4 periods of play we have focused on McDavid instead of our game - and he still gets his points

You won’t beat Edmonton 2-1 , go win 6-3

[Vedder]

No signs of life.

Sutter being out coached for first time all season by some amateur tub from the AHL. Time for him to re-evaluate.

[EN FUEGO]

Hoping for a Wall of Shame tonight....come on, boys!

[GoFlamesGo89]

If the flames play like this it doesn't matter who wins this series, Colorado will destroy either team...

Simple plays are needed. Pucks deep on penalty kills, pucks deep on line changes.

[Moneyhands23]

Ya, not much to say, only 1 team has shown up.

[CedarMeter]

This is worst I’ve seen them play all year. I baffled. Like they completely lost their mojo

If they don't have a good rush option, Flames got to get puck in deep and then start transition.

[JurassicTunga12]

Wondering if we'll have another 5 or more goals against from this team.


Baffling stuff, really.

Steinberg was right, it's gross that he's even playing in the league right now.

Only Edmonton would sign a guy like that still hot out of a bad situation like that.

Just a disgusting franchise.

[SportsJunky]

Just have to win 1 of next 2 games. Doesn't have to be tonight.

[8sPOT]

Hate to say it but man are McDavid and Draisatl ever good. How lucky to have two big time game breakers on your team.

Blah!

Go Flames Go!!

[iloveicedhockey]

Haven't gotten going, at all. Not one period of sustained pressure that I can remember.

Far from over but we need a spark.

[Redliner]

I really, really hate losing to this #### team. Flames better pick it up right now because this is starting to feel like the 3rd period of game 2 was the turning point in the series.

[oldschoolcalgary]

not blaming the refs on this game.

Calgary getting owned in TOI and chances... making dumb plays and seemingly unable to make an easy breakout play is killing them and feeding the Oilers.

Nope. First line MIA so far.

[TBone290]

Kane, go KYS

[soulchoice]

It’s not even a ref issue. Flames just are not up to the task tonight.
