Slow starts are getting old sure, but you knew Vancouver was going to come out as strong as they could. They'll blow their load early

Flames sure don’t like skating fast. Never seen a team come out so flat every game.

Will be impressed if we throw more than 10 hits total.

I kinda like Jim Hughson. He’s got great cadence, good vocabulary, nice flow, reads the play well.

He used to be too excitable and it became a bit of a schtick but I find he’s calmed down the last few years.

Demko is going to fall asleep.

Could be our strategy.

Want to buy some pressure? Maybe a shot on goal?

I don’t find the Flames being outplayed despite the shots. Just a bunch of deflections, but equal zone time IMO.

Interesting. Thank you! About 3 years seems about right. I wish they’d have explained it any one of the 20 or so times I’d seen it.

They can't gain the zone at all, yikes. Canucks have some weak shots on net, but they haven't done much either.

God I hate playing against talentless teams that play the trap.

Gaudreau line is passing up chances to shoot early. Get it going with shots on net boys don't need fancy stuff at offensive blueline
