travel_dude Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Well, this is so typical. Shorten the bench when we are tied and need a goal? Or make it to the OT? Nope, just keep rolling lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Backlund giveth and taketh away. Mind you, it was Lucic out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Really need to re-think the idea of pulling the goali without a O-zone faceoff. Extra skater just means 5v5 in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Flames played about 5 mins of good hockey in a game they had to have got a bounce they needed and still couldn’t get their game going. Still look like they don’t have answers for what oilers are doing and the Oilers have been the far more determined team in this series. They deserve all the credit for being up 3-1.

I don’t see much of a difference. they gave us the game on a sliver platter and we decided to stop skating and play for the OT goal?

Then the Flames looked tight. 4th line got caved in and that's all she wrote. Just try to win Thursday and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once we kept McDavid to the outside. We even got a fluke goal. And it still wasn't enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finally started playing again in the 2nd period and chipped away to tie the game with 5 minutes to go in the game and then packed the bags for the night.

They have been complacent when tied or with the lead for most of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Backlund wasn't on the ice for the Oilers goal but the shift before that, his line set the tone for taking the foot off the gas peddle and it continued to the next line... and then the Oilers scored.

Until the give up with minutes remaining. I don't get why you put out anyone from the 4th line when you are protecting a tie. As musg=h as Lewis and Lucic have played in pressure games, they aren't the answer. Not when you need a goal. TImely bleeder out there killed the rest of the period.
