[GT] Game 5: Dallas at Calgary

[CroFlames]

Not as good as game 4 but I’m still feeling pretty good.

Johnny with lots of confidence hanging onto the puck. That’s a great sign.

[browna]

Well, if that was Dallas's hard push, we will be just fine.

Ice looks like #### again.

The fans pump up the players but the players pump up the fans. The fans come ready to bring it and the players style of play brings the fans down a couple of notches. If the Flames get a break the fans will get live again but they're waiting for the players to give them something.

Johnny = mad
Mad = good

Which other J fella does that remind us of? He turned out pretty ok for the boys in red

[Flamesfan05]

Not sure why we are sitting back

[Duffalufagus]

This type of game favours Dallas.

Thanks to the people who are giving reports from inside. I know it's difficult to do that, and we appreciate it!

[greyshep]

Feels a lot like the first 2 games. Why are home games so locked down (boring)?

[midniteowl]

Flames need to get their cycle game going. They one shift that they were cycling and you can see the terror in the Stars players eyes.

[bigrangy]

Yup, gotta turn it up. Not a great period.

[FBI]

Dube hasn’t done much

[Burning Beard]

This is what Dallas does on the road. Every game. Their fans all say the same thing. Boring

Really? He hasn’t been on the score sheet yet but I think he’s been great this series.

Usually the pre-game intensity spills into the first 5 minutes of the game, but by the 2-3 minute mark it was already regular season quiet.

If the roof was coming off the place I bet the boys would've been a bit less tentative.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Good road game... by the home team

[Enoch Root]

One goal in 7 periods on home ice.

They have to find a way to break through here in the 2nd

Subban is lights out good as an analyst, on ESPN

[savemedrzaius]

Panel seems so much more relaxed when Ron isn't there.

Dallas plays a solid defensive system.
Flames though I think know that and aren't going to panic to try and create.

I'll take Calgary's skill and work ethic over 4 lines, than the 4 lines on Dallas over 69 minutes.

Need to shoot more and stop trying to be so fancy.
