We would hope. But the Flames like to make things harder on themselves in the playoffs.

Folks, I took the baby upstairs for a bath and Pavelski scored. He's staying with me for the third.

All I am saying is Dallas is a tough opponent. The fact that they were mediocre in the regular season is completely irrelevant. And they were good in the 2nd half, BTW

Nashville blew a 4-0 lead, and Dallas drew an E-Bug in the last gane of the season. The Flames winning that game was not the shoe that dropped.

Not only clutch and grab, they are excellent in running pick play.

I’ve liked Coleman too. Jarnkrok just sewers that line.

Big period coming up. Whichever team scores the most goals will probably win.

Fair point, Coleman definitely has jam this post season. Toffoli seems to be getting in scoring positions but dude is so snakebitten.

I’d even go all the way to say, the team with the most goals WILL win.

Playoff Flames make it so hard on themselves. We should be dominating this series.

Has Tkachuk played much since the hand issue in the first? Haven’t really noticed him, but have been distracted during the second so didn’t watch closely.

Fair.

I just feel like SOOOO many of the flame's standouts have just dumbed their game down so far. Whereas the stars guys are playing up to the moment

And the trap - another thing they didn't do during the regular season

And that’s not even counting the heavy hatchet blow to Gaudreau’s collarbone.

Why does it feel like we make the opposition goalies look like Vezina candidates?
