Flames in 6

I thought the Flames were the better team tonight, but a bad penalty that the Stars took advantage of and some terrific saves by Oettinger have the Stars up 2-1

That said, when a guy on the 4th line (Trevor Lewis) is one of your best players, that's not a good thing.

But Dallas is playing dirty. I was watching the highlights.

You have to match them but do it without any notice

They're a veteran team with vast playoff experience and they know how to play on the edge. The funny thing is if the Flames can find a way to win game 4, they steal back home ice advantage. Just gotta keep throwing pucks on net and look for rebounds.

Matthew needs to get his head screwed on straight. As for Lucic, he's at the end of his career and he's trying hard, but most nights he's a liability out there.

I meant use them to beat Dallas at their own game.

Matthew needs to find a way to produce. 6 points in 18 playoff games just doesn't cut it. Dude can beat up guys like Klingberg or get as dirty as can be, but a $9M player needs to hit the score sheet.

The sample size is growing and he's becoming more and more of a playoff flop.

I still like the Flames to win this series but their best players (outside of Lindblom) need to get it together.

Yup. Spending 5 minutes unavailable because my man Johnny Klingberg has found a nice comfy sofa in Tkachuk’s mind isn’t helpful for the team. And I fully expect Darryl will bring that to his attention.

Well, if nothing else, @thedddd should stop whining about not enough goals being scored in this series.

This series was like the smart kids ruining the curve for everyone else.

Pfft...good defense and good goal tending. Who wants to see that?

Sorry Flames fans. I joined this thread yesterday and brought my bad luck with me.

lol - Appreciate the sentiment dare, but there's over 30 years of disappointing playoff history for Calgary. This is pretty much par for the course, I mean, if anybody expected the Flames to win in four or five games, I have to ask what they're smoking.

So DOPS are covering up for the refs?

Flames just need to stick to their game and win it where it counts which is on the scoreboard. Also, a powerplay goal or two might cause the Stars to think twice before taking penalties. Lastly, if anyone has a Jake Oettinger voodoo doll, get out the pins lol
