You and Dragomir should start a thread so you can complain there.

So far Heiskanen has been the best player for either team by a mile. Having Tkachuk out sucks, but the real problem is that the rest of the Flames' top players have either disappeared or gotten flat out dominated 5v5.

Even if they somehow win this series, there's no way you can look at yet another postseason no-show from the big guns and keep this core together for next year. It's become a very troubling pattern.

The same team that were an OT goal away from beating the Blues last year, who moved on to win the cup. They're still a good team.

It sucks seeing Gio have such a big drop in form compared to last year, he’s almost 37, it’s really not his fault. Sucks to see tho

Dallas isn't all that special. We're talking about the 18th best possession team this year and we're making them look like the 2012 Kings.

Exactly, Dallas is a great team

Going on a run like last year is great experience, and a year of growing for Heiskanen has been huge

They also added Perry and Pavelski who bring a ton of experience and skill even in their later years

Really hope the Hall rumours are true. We need another offensive dynamic greatly.

Pretty amazing they took the cup champs to game 7 OT last year and are the 3rd seed.

Should Dallas advance they will give anyone a run for their money

Not to excuse the Flames but I am giving the opponent some credit here

Flames are a period away, tied in the game, from taking a 3-2 series lead. Again, most of us would take that a week ago. Fire drill through the neutral zone, sure, but creating more up front then last game.

Let's enjoy this. There are months for bitching after the fact.

the object of the game isn't possession, it's winning

and they do quite a bit of that
