[GT] Flames VS Avs Game 4

[Dion]

Mackinnon is in a league of his own. Every time he has the puck something happens. Such a dominant player.

I wish someone would run Mackinnon.

He's actually been one of the Flames better players tonight. The first line is getting chances, or close to setting them up.

The Flames are playing much more displinced, and took advantage of the PP. The Flames just can't clear the zone to save their life. Once again, Smith is keeping them in it.

Also Neal ####ing sucks jesus

Neal, Brodie, Gaudreau, Monahan, Jankowski. Flames can ice an entire line of passengers, you can't win in the playoffs with that many plugs

[Sylvanfan]

For fart sakes di something about thoe wide open strtcgh passes. Rec league teams know how to defend that.

[Moneyhands23]

Im not sure why our d keeps giving it to the avalanche. They have time and just cant get it out. Crazy

[Yorkshire Flame]

As soon as the Avs turn over the puck they immediately attack the puck carrier and take away time and space. When the Avs have the puck the Flames just back off and watch. The difference in effort is night and day.

He's the only reason why this series isn't already over.

Colorado is the epitome of a one line team, but that one line has the Flames completely baffled in how to handle them.

[Benched]

if you told me this afternoon the Flames would be leading 1-0 going into the third, I'd have gladly taken it.

but *ouch* my heart. the stress...

[djsFlames]

Vali has been fantastic.

Smith and the PP are awesome this series, just like we all called

He hasn't had a major lower body injury or any concussions that I can recall. And yet his decision making and positioning have all gone to hell.

Someone smarter tell me what's happened.

He got married, kiss of death for so many players!

Very serious.

Never seen or heard a coach tell his team to double team a player.

It was Monahan first. The guy needs to clear the zone when he has the puck 2 ft away from the Blue line

So many giveaways in the D zone in 2nd half of that period. Don’t know if the forwards are blowing the zone early and not giving an outlet pass for the D or what.

How?

I think only Bennett could make it happen with his speed. There’s hope.

Every time Brodie messes up its your fault.

[Moneyhands23]

Valamaki should be in the line up forever
