It's shocking really. I don't believe the top line isn't trying. And yeah they haven't been great since the ASG, but they haven't been getting owned like this. Some of this is has to be game planning by the Avs. And either Flames don't have an answer, or players simply unable to make adjustments. And they're not playing against Mackinnon much, this against the Avs supposed weaker depth.
Janko - he might not be cut out for playoff hockey. At such an important position.
Hamonic and Hanifin - they might be drawing the Mackinnon line a lot. Hanifin either looks slow or simply playing on his heels.

I think they are also playing with the Flames top line a lot and thus are getting little help defensively. Monahan isn't playing well in his own zone and Gaudreau is not even there.

What is it for the others? Is the rest of the third line as bad? How are Gio/Brodie?

Right now they have the 3M and fourth lines going ... leave them.
They have two players going that are on lines that aren't ... Bennett / Lindholm. Combined them and add Gaudreau, move Monahan to the third line and maybe sit Jankowski for Czarnik or Dube.

Gaudreau isn't even seeing plays. All he's doing is shooting from bad angles and low percentage shots. If that's all he's going to do, then maybe putting Bennett with him and telling him to go to the net for rebounds is the way to go.
We know Monahan won't be standing in front of the net looking for rebounds.

Well those numbers tell you the Hanifin/Hamonic pairing has been an outright disaster. Can only assume they’re seeing a lot of Mackinnon. That’s awful.
And Bennett’s numbers aren’t so hot either.

At least the 3M line is decent with the high danger chances for and against, considering the task at hand of going up against the big line from the Avs. That’s why, as much as Backlund has an off night like last evening, I am not as critical. Especially since you can see how hard Backs works and competes. Frolik for the most part is giving as well, the talent just isn’t up their with the work ethic for him.
Chunky needs to step up. But he also has the compete level.

The insertion of Valimaki was needed and long overdue in this series.
I watched him dressed and take the full warmup before game 3 and was surprised and disappointed that Peters didn't pull the trigger then, obviously not knowing how bad the rest of the team played, it might have been a good thing.
Would like to see Peters being a little more aggressive in the lineup changes in game 5.
Insert Stone on D and sit Brodie
Czarnik, Dube, and Lazar in
Neal, Janko, and Monahan out
Need some fresh legs and less playing scared.

So the favourite whipping boy Brodie is almost average LOL. Backhand is average.
One thing is clear, our best players have not been our best players.

He's hurt and has been completely ineffective the last 2 games in Colorado.
Choose a different Black Ace, but Peters needs to be more bold in his personnel moves or lack thereof.

What have you seen from Neal, Janko, or Monahan in this series that makes you think rolling with the same group of forwards is the right strategy for game 5?
Just curious...

At least in the case of Monahan, he nearly had the GwG in game 2 so there's that.
His struggles are real but he's still the best goalscorer on the team. Just wish we gave him Iginla type responsibilities instead of Toews type responsibilities.

I'm not wanting to bicker with CPers, but that's at least 3 folks that are defending Monahan and wanting to keep him in the lineup. In the spirit of this...
Why would you not sit Neal and Janko at this point?
