This is the equivalent strategy to a Rocky 1 boxing strategy. We're going to let you punch us over and over until you get tired. A similar strategy was espoused by the Afghanistan desk prior to Charlie Wilson taking over the funding. "So your strategy against the Russians is to run the Afghans into their machine guns until they run out of bullets".

If we can match our shot total from the first period I'll be surprised.

Monahan looks lost. Think these line combos need a change.

So what do you want the Flames to do? They are grossly outmatched by skill and speed by all 4 of Chicagos lines..

Give them some credit for never giving up..

The NHL's schedule maker is a sadistic SOB. Back-to-back in the middle of a 6 game road trip to start the season with the back half being the Hawks.

At least Gaudreau did something. But no let's just keep burying him.

Maybe we'll score on a dump in when Crawford's taking a nap.

This game reminds me of the Simpsons episode where homer stands there and takes punches from boxers till they're tired enough where he can push them over and win
