All the players showed up to put the Jets away. But I especially enjoy when my favorite players who also happen to be the latest victims of relentless fan whipping are the ones leading they way. Bennett especially. Then Monahan closely following.

And hot doggy did they ever do right running Talbot the entire series. Brilliant. Now let this train punch through another round ! PRETTY please!

Question

Finally the Flames show up at their best in high pressure situations, and finally they string together two good playoff-like performances. That takes a weight off my chest that I feel has been sitting there for years.

I really wasn't feeling that great about the team after the first two games. Even when they won the first one, I thought it was more about the Jets being bad and distracted than anything the Flames did. Second game they weren't good at all and Winnipeg just choked them.

The last two games they played like they can. Third line emerging as a scoring threat is huge going forward, and with Jankowski even the fourth line has now looked useful. This is how I feel our depth has looked like on paper, but has never showed up on ice this season, until now.

I really have to eat crow on Talbot. Before the season, I thought he was a total hasbeen and would play himself out of the lineup. I stand 100% corrected. I love Rittichs personality, but going with Talbot has proven to be absolutely the right choice, he's been very good and seems to be getting into a groove.

I love what Forbort and Gustafson bring to the team, great acquisitions. Liked them coming in at trade deadline, love them now. Our defensive depth looks really solid with them.

Love the rise of Mangiapane and Dube. Love Backlund. Monahan I thought had a good, quiet game. Tkachuk was up and down in the series, but overall a beast and a leader. He feels like the captain already.

We might not have the brightest stars in the league, but everything else looks good right now. We got depth, we got strength, we got nastiness, we got goaltending. This should be a tough team to beat.

That said, any opponent we'll meet in the next round is going to be on a different level to what the Jets were in this series. This series was over when Scheifele got hurt, and the Jets were never a real threat after that. This was a play-in series, or as way say in Finland, "pity playoffs".

Now bring on the real thing.

Bennett was a one man wrecking crew.

If he did nothing else in the game he’d still be the second star behind Talbot.

But he also goes on to plant the dagger into Winnipeg.

And still he is the second star behind Talbot.

Talbot was incredible tonight and all series.

Watching those two was a privilege.

Bennet/Dube/Lucic was magnificent. Have you got the clip where Lucic blew past all the Jets players for a scoring chance? That wasn't the first time this year he impressed me with a burst of speed out of nowhere.

Wouldn't make that much of it, the Jets weren't much of a test.

What bull####. It would've been obvious it wasn't a cut right away. So why attack Tkachuk for lifting his skate when it had nothing to do with the injury? Trying to manufacture a suspension such garbage

It also depends on the other 3 playoff series as they could all be lower seeded teams.

Yes that’s how it goes.

I know the non play in series games Have something to do with seeding. I don’t know how it works though. Do they get 2 points for a win? Does regular season standings mean anything? I haven’t followed the non play in series at all. I have no idea how their current rankings are?
