[GT] Game 2: Dallas at Calgary

[evman150]

One goal in five periods and we're a good period away from a 2-0 series lead.

Crap so far, but possibly an awesome result.

Gotta think Sutter will light a fire under them for the third.

Getting the sense they need one and the scoring gates will open.

This is why I wasn't 100% sold on them this year regardless of how good they looked. This group just doesn't know how to elevate their game in the playoffs

Panel telling us that Oettinger is going to get a shutout, without actually saying it

What game are you watching because it isn't this one.

Flames want to become a good playoff performing team? I don't think that means generating tons of scoring chances, especially against teams like Dallas, but they gotta be way more opportunistic. They've had their chances, but haven't come close to scoring.

Also, the PP has been terrible so far this series, other than the lone goal.

[Moneyhands23]

This is honestly a very disappointing effort. Team has no fire at all.

[Enoch Root]

Much better period. They played faster, and got the forecheck going to some extent.

What is frustrating me is that they have had multiple odd man rushes and have not tried to pass once, they just keep shooting and making Oettinger look good. They need to make him move.

I kinda see the opposite. He's skating well, created some chances. That's been the best line tonight.

Patience pays off

Oh he's getting a shutout.

Shutout.. Shutout shutout.

He's getting a shutout

[Ferarri]

Didn’t think this would happen to a Sutter coached team. They should be able to fight through the adversity. 1 goal in 5 periods is a major concern. Hoping for a big third but someone needs to step up. Time to change up the combos on lines two and three or do you just ride it out?

No, it is this one.

I think the stars are a better team then they are given credit for. They went to the finals not that long ago and play a playoff style game as well.

Have their warts, but they are a playoff style team.

I agree. I’d like to see Coleman up there with them again.

Whenever they get in the offensive zone he is turning over the puck, that is what I have seen.

[Macindoc]

Friedman just called the shutout for Oettinger, “I’m going to say it, we should get comfortable with this 1-0 score”

[ben voyonsdonc]

Going from watching the Blue Jays to watching this game is driving my frustration level pretty high.

[Mass_nerder]

Man, I know we're not playing well, but you'd think we were lucky to be in the playoffs with the way this panel is talking. I don't expect them to pander to Flames fans, but not a single good thing to say.

[Scary Eloranta]

I don’t see us getting one goal tonight, never mind two.
