Johnny can walk for free we have no choice.
Tkachuk needs 9M to be qualified, he’s not playing like a 9M dollar player.
Monahan is a walking crash test dummy, injuries have ruined him sadly.

Deflected shot on the first one. Goalies give up rebounds on tough shots.

Yes its an idiotic opinion.

He has a 1.33 GAA in the series and a 94.2% SVP.

Unfortunately they might just be who we feared they were all along. I haven't been willing to go all in emotionally after the last few playoffs.

I thought kylington played ok, at least he gave a kyt.

Down 2-1 against last years Cup finalists. Were y’all expecting the flames to steamroll their way through? Sports is more enjoyable if you’re not forecasting misery and woe 2 games in advance. Unbearable lot, Jesus.

You're right, this is more similar to the Ducks series circa 2017

So many good playoff series to look back at fondly

You can’t. It’s like watching the exact same movie.

Stars wanted it more.

Thought it was a questionable penalty to be honest. Andersson initiated contact.

Benn should be suspended.

Markstrom is a good goalie but those were 2 pretty juicey rebounds - it ended up being the difference.

Jarnkrok is an offensive blackhole. Ruzicka needs to come in.

[sa226]

Dallas still has to win 2 more. This thing isn't over yet. We all wanted the Flames to steamroll them. Dallas is a pretty experienced playoff team, who has the goalie confidence bump. Whatever you think of their regular season metrics. This will more than likely go 7 games.

Gaudreau with the tie on his stick in an uncomfortable omen though.

[Red_Baron]

I'm done with Jarnkrok.

If we lose this series, they absolutely better go scorched earth.

[kukkudo]

Sutter is being outcoached in some aspects too. Like to see some changes in the lineup.

Didn't say that but I could argue he's been the best Flame.
Blaming him for being down in the series is dumb.
He's doing his job. His teammates aren't.

Most of the shots the Flames take Oettinger can see. We make it too easy for him by not creating traffic in front of him.

The Flames as I see it are having trouble with the aggressive forechecking the Stars are putting on the Flames. On top of that any breakout pass is stopped in the neutral zone. They have to learn to adapt to what the Stars are doing.

Don’t worry, I’ve been giving Tkachuk a ton of hate in my living room. Dude is ALL talk and zero action every year in the playoffs. Just brutal. This dude wants $12 mil? Move him out.

[flames_fan_down_under]

What did I watch during the final stretch? Like what a sequence, Gaudreau stopped on breakaway, face off loss, icing, face off loss, icing, face off loss, two flames
Collide at blue line, game over.

[minnow]

Flames are figuring it out. They'll pick up next game.
