Thanks Trevor,

Worrisome news about Markstrom. We might see Vladar playing tonight. Not saying he is better than Markstrom, but the Flames seemed to be much more responsible with Vladar in.

The Flames just looked so off last game. McD is in their head.

Does anyone know if Stockton still playing?

Committing 2 forecheckers may indeed lead to more zone time.. but if they don't hinder or somehow make it harder for 97 coming out of the zone.. well you've seen the results of not making that more difficult ...

Gotta clog that neutral zone. . And need TT to get on track.. And it seemed Lewis took a few bad penalties last game.. which he generally doesn't do.

Isn't it 3rd round now? Thought the Heat swept the Condors in the second round, but I haven't paid great attention to the AHL hockey.

This should be a good one. I have a feeling the Oilers are going to need to weather the storm when the puck drops. I'm really looking forward to this one. Gonna be rough.

Scary? That's a reach no? I mean they were good, but scary? If Dallas scared you, then McDavid must be giving you night terrors.

So scary that they were the only team to make the playoffs with a negative goal differential.

Did you see Oettinger play?

I'm fully confident that the Flames can outscore McDavid. If the Flames outplay the Oilers, they're probably going to win. That wasn't the case against Dallas.

Every time Bouchard hops over the boards, there's a great chance the Flames will get a glorious scoring chance. They've already put up 9 against them twice this season.

They outplayed Dallas six times and it still took OT in game seven. So no, it wasn't the case.

Me to. Hope the Flames can find an answer for McBeast, best player in the game and he’s leading the series in hits.

The Flames need to stop trying to make adjustments for McDavid. It's not working and it's never going to work. They need to just get back to doing what made them successful all year. Game three was miles away from good Flames hockey and they were still made to look like chumps.

Gaudreau needs to be on the ice more than Backlund or it's not going to go well.

I'd have the hook ready for Markstrom if he lets in 2 in the first period. Vladar may not fare any better but he won't be any worse.

I can't believe the number of times the PK has left Draisitl open on the right side. Have they not watched any video of previous games? Could they not let one guy "cheat" a little closer to Leon? Much like the Sedins play, you knew that the pass was going between them at some point. Take away the pass.

I heard that Tanev was skating again. Despite the obvious tactic of Edmonton going after him physically and doing him further damage, I think he ought to be play if he's able to. He's missed.
And speaking of, if Nurse and Draisitl are indeed carrying injuries from the L.A. series the Flames should be targetting them. They're not getting bumped nearly enough.
