Was it for the joke about McKinnon getting tired soon or did he say something worse?

It's a radical theory, to be sure, but I think I might be onto something here.

It's called Rope a Dope - works everytime.

Flames putting on a crap show, Refs sucking it for Colorado, I can already smell a first round exit

[SuperMatt18]

Forwards need to stop getting caught deep.

Avs are consistently beating them back up the ice. Easy zone entries and no resistance in the neutral zone since they can attack with speed and numbers

But tonite they are cooked.

Unless something changes soon they aren’t winning the series because the Avs quickly worked out how to outplay and outwork them and doesn’t bode well at all. At this moment I can’t see any way the Flames take control of this series again.

Don’t want to drag smith into the mud but he’s been just as bad as the rest of the team.

The more they show that hook on McKinnon the more I think it was a terrible call.

[bubbsy]

Wasn't the refs fault that the flames give up the neutral zone or their defensive line WAY too easy.

Playing scared, or lack of a game plan, or both.

By the time they realize it's playoff time, series will be done.

Series sure feels done already.

[Beninho]

Yup Hanifin has been awful as well. Does he know to take a slap shot?

Shots have been terrible even when they flames have had a scoring chance. Straight into the chest.

There is absolutely no sign that will change.

I’m struggling to remember them even having any zone time.

They are killing any minimal momentum we get every time.

Well.. The jackets were down 3-0 one game recently...

At least it's in game 3, rather than game 7 like against the Ducks in 06.

At least us Flames fans are used to this. This is not surprising, or really all that unexpected at all.

[memphusk]

Bennett is handcuffed with Colborne 2.0 and Neal. Needs some linemates.

[bigrangy]

Bennett and Hathaway the only two guys to show up so far

Seems dire but they’ve have to try to salvage something from this game

[greyshep]

I knew we would struggle with the playoff style game but really didn't expect we'd struggle this badly. This is ugly and demoralizing.

[Flash Walken]

I hope Neal is earning his money on the locker room right now.

[Kipper_3434]

Cp imploding. Bodes well for a comeback if the regular season was any indication

[Kybb79]

Refs screwed us from the get go.
