So after three games, rush scoring chances are 42-12 Avalanche. They are doing an outstanding job forcing the Flames to dump-and-chase and over-pursue or turn it over at the Avalanche blueline attempting a high-risk entry. The Flames are falling right into the trap and getting MURDERED in transition.

Of all the s***ty s***tiness of that game, one s***ty thing that stands out that really pissed me off was when Lindy left the ice when the puck was in our zone on a PK to try to retrieve a stick from the bench. At least stay in the play and get in the lane of a shot or pass

Defence are backing up as he gets the puck. They're afraid to attack him fearing he'll skate around him.

Can this talking point ####ing die already?

What game were you watching? It's the Avs speed that the Flames had no answer for tonight.

The days of the LA Kings gooning it up in the 8th seed are gone. Hockey is about speed and skill, just as it is in the playoffs.

I honestly thought Monahan was hurt watching him in game 2. Then I thought he was imitating Johnnys effort level. Then maybe vice versa?

He's been by far the Flames best player in this series.

And it's not even close.

Call me crazy but I'd play Lazar in the next game. Has speed and can forecheck.

That's an incredible take considering Smith has been lights out. He is literally the least of our issues at this point in the series.

Smith is the LEAST of our worries are you trolling? If you want to make a trade how about finding us a top 6 player with some grit

This post is equivalent to Flames performance on the ice today.

1-2 might warrant a goalie swap. I would like to see if they play a different style with Rittich.

Unless that "number 1" is a 4 by 6 slab of granite a number of those 50 plus shots are gonna end up in the net.
