[GT] Game 3. Flames vs Avs

[JohnnyB]

This game has been a pretty epic disappointment. The Flames came into this series with home ice advantage and the psychological advantage of being the number one team in the West and clear favourites to win this round. They narrowly lost home ice last game and now they have absolutely zero psychological advantage. They have been embarrassed and look like an easily beaten, fragile, weak team.
The series isn't over, but the should-be leaders on the team have screwed themselves by letting it reach this point.

So Tkachuk makes a clean hit. Gets put in a headlock and gets a penalty?

Matt Tkachuk with the TSN turning point for the series right there with that hit on Landeskog

Clean hit. Extra 2. Checks out.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Wait, what? The Avs get the PP?

Where am I? What is happening?

[GeoRock]

How the #### does Tkachuk get the extra 2? Make zero sense.

[TheAlpineOracle]

Amazing that we end up with the extra penalty there.

[DropIt]

How the #### is Tkachuk getting the extra penalty? Hitting?

[dino7c]

how exactly do the Flames get the extra penalty?

Luckily the bottom 6 stepped up to help keep us in first but the top lines poor play isn’t just a playoff thing at this point. It’s been going on for a while.

This is for sure the biggest concern. Not just like we can say the top line has yet to show up for the series. They haven’t played well for awhile which makes it more worrying about if they can find their game.

Hey I don’t know if you guys heard but Cale Makar is playing tonight.

[You Need a Thneed]

Why are the Avs on the PP out of that? Should be a Flames PP.

[flylock shox]

At least Makar is from Calgary. That makes one happy Flames fan tonight.

Chucky with the first sucker punch. I approve just saying.

If you can’t get up for playoffs and even lay a body check... he is proving he’s too much of a shrinking violet to be a playoff performer. Zero interest in getting dirty and is frankly scared. Brutal.

[Gondi Stylez]

The refs are the worst team...and that's saying something

[bubbsy]

Refs really deserve a slapshot to the nuts these playoffs.
