FLAMES at Colorado - Saturday 5 March 2022

[LouCifer]

Love it! 

[The_People1]

The ice has really tilted in the Avs favor.  We look tired.  The Avs are too big too fast and some of our guys are playing it too safe trying to not make a mistake.  Seems like after we withstand a Mackinnon shift, then the Kadri line comes on to do a number on us... and we don't have a push back.

Once Vladar gets a feel he gets on his game.

Bottom 6 is having a hard time. 

[robrob74]

We need one more threat.

Like we need a fresh player that had a few games off?

And perhaps a Strome for the 3rd line?

Avs are playing 3 line hockey now and we should do the same.  Don't need to play Lewis-Ritchie the rest of the game.

[LouCifer]

Lewis has been money for us. Love his game.

yup! I wonder who you mean about that fresh player?

[robrob74]

I wish we bought low on Nichuskin.

He had his choice of places to go.

We can still use one or two from 4th line.

Backlund shoot high.

I prefer when he aims at the crest.

[robrob74]

Tanev took too long before possible shots and then gaps are covered.

"Backlund shoots... WAAAY over the top of the net" - Avs play-by-play guy

Same with Singh.

Exact same description.

[LouCifer]

It’s because it’s true. Aim. For. The. Pads. Create  Rebounds.

i wish he’d shoot smarter. Shoot for extra plays (on net for rebounds)… maybe he gets in for one too?

Ya man.  He's turned out great after being a cast away and forgotten player.  He used to be in the conversation with Monahan, Lindholm, Nurse, etc at their draft at the time.

We seem to be getting away from a possession game.

Lots of pokes to get the puck instead of dumping it back.

[robrob74]

Those shots you miss in those situations are dangerous because it sends the team going the other way with speed.

[LouCifer]

Let’s go flames!!!

is that just because they’re good? But you’re right. The ice has been slanted
