This has got to be one of the most pathetic Flames playoff teams. If not the most.
So damn weak.

It was nice to see Brodie keep MacKinnon to the outside but when he stops you need to play the body and not let him make that pass.

I'm embarrassed by the whole series to this point.

I think the past 3 games have shown us their character.

Scared losers is what they are

This forum is ridiculous. We all have fun readying the ATL, but I guarantee you that CP provides much better material for rival ATL threads.

As good as Avs have played, Flames really beat themselves with amateurish play.

Beat themselves all series with poor passing in their half of the rink. Avs just had to lurk and wait.

[Machiavelli]

Can't even receive a pass, what is going on

[FanIn80]

Omfg. Only SNET would compare McKinnon to Steph Curry.

The playoffs are all about puck possession. Gaining it, maintaining it , and recovering it.

Puck races and puck battles are about will, work and courage.

Up to this point, Johnny and Sean are failing miserably in all of the above.

[OmegaV4]

Nathan MacKinnon = Steph Curry?

[MisterJoji]

Remember when we had clean zone exits, ridiculously good advanced stats and a high powered & confident offense? Those were great times. Don’t know who these sad saps we’re currently watching are.

Team is just too scared to just skate hard. So much dump and chase, not their game at all.

I’m kind of in the same boat.... I’m watching but I could take it or leave it.

The Flames are completely exposed. Not physical and not particularly fast.

[Jeff Lebowski]

CGY has to find their rhythm. Execution is off because their timing is off (too tense). Battle hard defensively, make some shorter passes to get in rhythm and get timing down. The execution will come.

Stick together and stick with it. Force COL into mistakes and be ready to capitalize.

Glad the flames showed up for the final game of the year

[FanIn80]

Hey look everyone, we got a shot on goal!

12 minutes in and only 3 shots on goal? Ain't happening.
