Gaudreau has been a play-killer tonite, doesn't happen often.

 

They have targeted him.

They need to have someone else get the play going.

Then let him feed someone.

For F's sake, I don't want to see Hanifin out there for the next 2 and change.

We’ll the positive is that is probably the worst game flames have played in some time. So Their odds of playing better on Tuesday are high.

 

going to need some adjustments and a much better effort. This was never a game tonight.

Flames find themselves in must win territory heading in to game 4


they wasted the opportunity being up 3-1 last game to go up 2-0 in the series. They haven’t played “their game” in the series, but could have been when they started.

They went down 2-1 against Dallas. Need to win the next one, then the next 2 to go 3 in a row! 

 

We play bad in game 2 no doubt, since I can remember.

It happens to us.

Game 3 is a coin flip.

We can win 2 or 3 in a row or 3 out of the next 4.

Doesn't really matter which.

Just need to do.

There is no try, only do.

i can see them going with pairs:

 

Gaudreau, Lindholm

Tkachuk, Backlund


 

we need some goals by committee next game, plus more from the top three,

I didn't realize Markstrom played all 4 against them this year.. thought Vladar had one or 2..

Had a look..even with Vancouver he struggled against edm..  they might be his kryptonite..every goalie has one 

exactly my point...i would start Vladar next game

Tough call to make ..

We do play different for Vladar.. even with a 5 min penalty kill we outshot them 13-7 and outscored them 1-0.. played the way need to play .

I'd be tempted to start Vladar next game .. they have no experience against him 

 

It should have happened after 2.

Can't start a backup with a healthy goalie and no practice.

It's not that territory yet.

The oilers sat back. I wouldn’t read into that at all.

I didn't think we'd need to make this a best-of-3. But I guess we will.

This is only game 3. It's a chess match.

Not knocking Markstrom.. he played well.. but we play different for Vladar.. and they somewhat sat back but they played their #1 pp unit on the 5 min . 

Markys played 10 in a row .. they obviously have the book on him .. we only have to win one in Edmonton.. id throw em a curve and start. Vladar .

Get valimaki in for an 11-7 to add some speed to the d and mix up the lines

Right now, I would start Vladar next game...

 

No slight against Markstrom...   He is a huge reason why the team is where it is so far...

 

But he is not where he needs to be in his head right now...   and that is not typical for him...

 

Tough call for Sutter, but if  were up to me, I would start Vladar, and see how it goes for the game...   I would have pulled Markstrom well before he finally did...   I'm an old goalie, and I get it no one likes getting pulled, but I think Markstrom needs a bit of a jolt a jolt to reset, and just a regular a day off between games is not going to do it...

 

Maybe I will change my mind by Tuesday, but I doubt it...   Let Markstrom get hungry to deliver...   and he will...

We also have to be concerned with him letting in one before we score.

Marky gave us a period where we were outplayed at every turn.

Maybe Vladar stops one or two of the odd man rushes.

But maybe he leaks in a couple.

 

I do tthink we need to do something different with the D.

No speed on the 2nd pair with Stone and Zaddy.

Even if Tanev can go, we need insurance.

Ritchie hasn't factored into the game since the 1st period of game 2.

Not that he's a liability, but we played better with 11-7.
