Absolutely. In the past, we've seen them get frustrated, cheat defensively to try to create offense. Glad to see the attention to d.

If they could provide offensive pressure and zone time, it would huge..

Unfortunately, it's basically prevent defence time when they are on the ice.

Stars are controlling 62% of the shot attempts and 63% of the expected goals with the Gaudreau line on the ice...

they're the only Flames line not playing even hockey or better

The top line is called the top line to not play even hockey... but rather to play above it. It's okay to have tempered criticism...

First line isn't scoring or generating chances 5-on-5, but they aren't giving it up either.

Hopefully the offense will come along for them outside of the PP.

Don't complain about how you're winning when you're winning.

Top line will make its offensive impact in this series.

To be fair, I have been fine with monahan and gaudreau. Lindholm has been downright invisible though.

Hard to get the right matchups for the first line being the away team. Our 2nd and 3rd line match up better with their top lines. Hopefully in game 3 and 4 Ward can send the top line out more.

Talbot has been solid other than the second goal which he should have had but took a really ####ty hop.
