Does that answer your question?
This is incorrect in so many levels!

It was 18-1 for a sweep on the site I saw

Exactly, the flames are good when the D are aggressive. There’s still a couple playing hesitant out there tho

The pressure of the game seemed to get to the Flames near the end of the period. They started to panic with the puck and made some dumb plays. Hopefully they can settle down in the third.

Were those seriously the odds?! Or are you exaggerating? I was trying to find that earlier but gave up.

What do the Flames need to do to win the 3rd? Trap? Scoring the next goal would be nice.

Good point. Better to ice it take a 10 second breath. Even if they loose the face off they can reset.

This. So much this. Especially when you're 60% in the dot. These small dumps to centre that let the Avalanche wind up again do nothing. As previously mentioned, you're better letting them cycle where they're less effective. Instead they keep giving them the puck in the neutral zone with 5 tired guys. Just ice the puck!

High-danger chances are 13-4 Avalanche through 40. Mike Smith doing a heck of a job for #Flames

I'm at Craft and can't really hear the game - but from what I see this appears like a very even tilt. Smith looks great, team structure looks better and compete level is where it should have been last game.

Colorado competes hard but we are right in this.

Oh I dont know. Play the 3rd like they always do? I mean...they're kind of at their best in the last period...the best period.

No, that was a theoretical parlay bet on Columbus sweeping Tampa and the Islanders sweeping the Pens.

Rodie has been the most consistent and effective defenseman against MacKinnon on the rush tonight

First foray into the GT and the usual culprits complaining about the officiating.

They are letting them play and it’s pretty obviously going both ways IMO.

Either way should have been a powerplay for Calgary, whether the stick was broken when it was slashed out of Hathaway's hands, or if it wasn't broken and fired out to centre.
Hathaway went and got it though I think...

Who would have imagined Smith playing like this when we watched him flounder early in the season. Most of us thought he was done.

Glad he decided to elevate his game in these playoffs.

I think that was for a parlay of the Isles and Jackets both sweeping.

The odds were 93000 off of 100 for calling both the Colombus and Islander sweeps

Our season pretty well rests on this period. Be the Flames that got you here.

They better step it up in the 3rd and not sit on this lead ....

I hate when teams just try to defend leads ....

Be the 3rd Period team we have seen all season and this one is done.

Be the 3rd Period team we have seen all playoffs and this one is done.

Regular season team hustle is all i ask for
