Let's be real.

Only reason I wanted Vladar in that moment was to shake up the team.

Not this game IMO. The score flatters the Oilers, Flames skaters don’t deserve to be down three.

Was actually a pretty good period.

What can you do when the netminder gives a free one in the first minute, then goes 5/8.

You can't do anything.

If Smith was doing what Markstrom is, it would way more lopsided but the other way.

Too bad for the Flames players that are competing. You can't shelter Markstrom from everything.

Probably just watched the tapes of Dallas boxing the Flames out all series. Edmonton has figured out not to chase and just let the Flames tire themselves out cycling. Its visible the adjustments Woodcroft has been making, its hard to see what adjustments Sutter is doing on the other side of things though when every shot is in the net.

The Flames lost all their confidence and swagger for some reason. They are better than this, but they forgot. Sucks to be losing so badly, isn’t even close.

Woodcroft had a point. 63 starts.

They aren't playing to win. They're playing to not be embarrassed, which usually turns out to be embarrassing.

The Oilers charged $100/ticket for their watch party. No good.

Going to bed.

Hoping for a shock at my 3 am phone check… but knowing the likelihood of that, hopefully I can get some sleep knowing the Avs will crush whoever wins this series.

Disappointed but not surprised. This is the Flames after all. I swear this franchise is cursed or the hockey gods just hate us. I guess I was naive to think that this year could be different.

On the plus side, if you turn it off and just check the score at the end of the night it is a lot less stressful. No need to watch McDavid and Kane have their way with us, no announcers with their one sided analysis, and no need to look at all those oiler jerseys.

I feel the same way but Jesus #### hit someone already. Start it up. Get after it. Play like ####ing winners and not Oilers.

Gotta stop giving the top players a free pass. They're been horrible since Game 1.
Is there a point anymore? I mean if they lose this the series may as well be wrapped up.

That was my point. Marky is a part of the team. Combine perimeter play with a goalie playing like a sieve and this is what happens. No one taking runs to the net, little to no physical play.

Wonder if it’s going to make it easier as to who we want to resign in the off season. Daryl has 3 comebacks down 3-1. He will do his part. Wonder if team has the mental whetherall

Flames can't win unless someone starts scoring goals, but let's be realistic. Markstrom let in 2 bad goals.
