Ha ha, Avs only team in playoffs who haven't scored a goal even if they play their first line almost half the game. Great strategy Bednar!

The Flames biggest advantage in this series might be coaching. Bednar was awful tonight.

Great opening game by the Flames, if I can pick one thing out, its the Flames attention to details, except for a couple of breakdowns, they played a strong defensive game and a stronger positional game.


You can really see the difference in depth between the Flames and the Avs.

Wow, blown away. Probably because of the bad memories of playoffs past, but I did not expect such a great performance by the team.

It's gotta be 3 stars:

1. Mike Smith
2. Matthew Tkachuk
3. Andrew Mangiapane

I'm usually the 1st to criticize the team but that was honestly the ideal game 1 for them;

- They looked nervous/too amped up
- They played average at best and won 4-0
- The Avs had a number of quality chances and Smith stood tall
- Smith's confidence level through the roof (exactly what he needs right off the start)
- They won with the 1st line not doing much offensively
- The PP scored twice

I expect a much more relaxed and dominant team moving forward.

Flawless victory. The DAGger line strikes first, 3M kills it, Smith shuts the door.

Me this spring:
"It's nice that's Smiths been warming up, but the odds of that lasting throughout the spring are not great"

Mike Smith:

"Never tell me the odds."
And also likely
"F U" (He just seems like that kind of guy )

We’re back in the original timeline. The same one that saw him shutout the Ducks in Anaheim to snap the Honda curse.
