It makes me feel like if we had used Lucic-Bennett-Dube as a line all year, we wouldn't have to play in this stupid extra playoff round

Lucic was good during the regular season but he's been a monster so far in this series.

Fact! That includes his early career 4 goal game. Dominant 2 period performance.

This third line is killing it!
Lucic and Bennett have been the most noticeable players on the ice tonight.
Dube having a big game too.

Bennett doesn't play like that in the regular season though

Think Bennett is earning the nickname "Punisher"

The Jets tried hard and had lots of push in the second, but the Flames didn't break. Playoff Benny is totally awesome!

Still.........great game so far. No passengers.

An early goal on them in the third might be the nail in the coffin.

God damn I love playoff Bennett. The tougher the game, the bigger the stage, the better he plays. That whole 3rd line has been awesome.

Recognizing there the score is closer than I would like, and there is 20 minutes to play, I am grinning ear-to-ear at this Flames performance. The Jets have no answer. What a complete performance thus far.

Lol Bennett is playing well but lets not get carried away.. he needs to learn how to play in the regular season.

This is one of the best games I've ever seen a Flames player play. This is Iggy like physical dominance.
He is everywhere, crashing into everything. The Jets must be livid.
That entire line has taken over.

He's honestly been our best even strength forward every time we're in the playoffs.
As a rookie against Vancouver and Anaheim, in 2017 against Anaheim, and last year vs Colorado.
There was that advanced stats puff piece that came out recently proclaiming Bennett's playoff reputation as lucky ultimately (because of his higher shooting percentage), but that completely negates the momentum he single-handedly provides the team with his forecheck and downright punishing physicality. He creates more time and space for himself, his linemates, and his teammates as a whole.
The shifts that the Flames have immediately after Lucic, Benny, and Dube dominate are better as a result. I guarantee it.

Hellebuyck is playing really well. Only reason game is close.

Nothing at all to criticize so far, but I still feel uneasy only up by 2 going into the third against a team with their back against the wall. Need at least 1 more.

Johnny as well. Great backchecks and pretty solid both ways.

Lucic has changed the entire culture of this team, and Talbot has been brilliant.
