Not near good enough and not very engaged Very disappointing when you have a chance to take control. I would say it has been fairly even. But exactly what Dallas wants. So not good on either side. And we have had some zone time. But need better chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robrob74 Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 I wanna see us change things up on the PP. well, it is only one goal. But I have a feeling this could be the season. Not saying it impossible but it gives Dallas the chance to go home and take it. just saying we need to come out in the 3rd like it is the series.

They are losing a lot of puck battles, puck watching and not playing with a lot of urgency. I expected a lot more. The flames should be much hungrier to not have this series to 7.

We've played as good home as on the road. One shot away from a tie game and two from a go ahead game. Our PP has not been where we get the majority of scoring, but then again only 7. 2 PP goals, 1 PS, 1 EN and 3 5v5 goals. Only need two hands.

cross16 Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Flames need someone in the room to say something here. This can’t be acceptable to you group and someone needs to take some reigns to get them fired up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames for life Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 This is the kind of game Dallas feeds on. Low scoring, tight checking. It allows them to be opportunistic. Calgary works better running the play and cycling, which for the most part, Dallas has shut down. Not boding well!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Lucic missed the assignment on the one goal. Let the guy walk in. If you double shift guys on the 4th line, take Lucic off for a few shifts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrob74 Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Let’s be positive! it is only one goal!!! get one and then another! Then an EN! We win 3-1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is like a stupid chess match and I think it is a tough formula to win. It is like a blinking contest and it looks like we just accidentally blinked there.

cross16 Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Flames are very capable of winning this game. Just have to decide if they want to or not. So far they have not played like this is a game they really want to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet this is a series where the special teams has made a difference at times. With such little goals it’s vital… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 I expect a huge push in the 3rd. It's why we have cup winners in the room. Remind the players what the game means. Any Given Sunday speech comes to mind.... “I don’t know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to today, and either, we heal as a team, or we’re gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play. Until we’re finished. We’re in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And, we can stay here, get the .... kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell… one inch at a time. Now I can’t do it for you, I’m too old. I look around, I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I’ve made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I’ve pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who’s ever loved me. And lately, I can’t even stand the face I see in the mirror. ... On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that’s gonna make the f****** difference between WINNING and LOSING, between LIVING and DYING! I’ll tell you this, in any fight it’s the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I’m gonna have any life anymore it’s because I’m still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that’s what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can’t make you do it. You’ve got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think you going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That’s a team, gentlemen, and either, we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoffs and a chance to go no 3-2? Not good enough IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
