I just think of the Oilers flying around in the first period hitting everything in sight , taking penalties, and potting a couple of goals in the process. That's not really their game and once the Sharks took advantage of one of the penalties they settled down and took the route of puck possession over trying to beat the bully. I really think the Flames have to focus on winning the puck battles and leave the other stuff to the Ducks. I have no issues with players finishing their checks but running around trying to punish them isn't the Flames game and it's not going to work against a team that's better conditioned to play chippy hockey.
Are you sure that's not Edmonton's game? The color guy said that they can play what ever style they need and do it well. It was funny because he actually listed various styles and said we can do that too. Hard to watch their games because there is almost zero commentary about the Sharks.

Bobcat on PTS this afternoon was asking Healey if he thought the Flames had a chance to beat the Ducks - his answer was not a chance. Said the Ducks are too big and strong and will beat up on Mony and Johnny ( except he called him Gaudreau and butchered the pronunciation). Would like nothing better than to have the Flames make him eat those words!

In 2015, I sat in a booth in the Boston Pizza on 17th Ave. wearing my David Jones jersey watching the Flames take on the Canucks in Game 1. Jones scored the first Flames goal of the playoffs and the Flames won.
Tonight, I sit in the same booth in the same restaurant on 17th wearing my Micheal Ferland jersey watching the Flames take on the Ducks in Game 1. Man, do I want to see the same result.
If that happens, I just might have to start referring to you as The Scorpion King.
8:30am here, Easter Friday, in Australia. Just woke up, had a feed and have cracked my first beer. Absolute ####ing belter day of sports ahead. Flames game on then 3 back to back rugby games including my team.
Not particularly happy Lazar isn't in the lineup, I thought he has been excellent. I believe in GG though!
Going to be ####faced by the end of the day. Have got a few ####s from the street coming over to watch the footy and some are keen to watch the hockey too, their first playoff hockey experience.
Giddy up Flames!! GFG!!!

I take this as a good sign. Healey doesn't know his ass from his elbow.

Today a curse will be broken, I can feel it. I was worried about being able to watch, but as it turns out my schedule has opened up. hahaha
I'll be tuning in and cheering for the good guys from the second period on. Here's hoping I tune in to a lead. Can't wait!
I hope Ferly cranks it up to at least 75% of Ferklund. He has to remember, he is more than a 4th liner now. We need him shooting the puck and creating space out there for Johnny and Mony.
He can't be spending time in the penalty box with the likes of Bieksa and Thompson. That should be Brouwer and Bouma's job now!
Woooot!
