Meh, they were padding their shot totals at times in this game, especially in the first. Lobbing pucks into Smith's glove is not relevant to "dominating." I get you're frustrated, but there were large parts of this game where the Avs were the team making the mistakes, making the defensive-zone turnovers, and giving up the zone because the Flames had numbers in transition. For sure, the Avs finished stronger, but it was almost too little, too late.
I think they just need to build on the parts of the game that they controlled. The things that got us into trouble in terms of our play- the turning points in each period - were hair-pullingly frustrating decisions that can easily be avoided if they keep their cool. Things like Hamonic throwing the puck up the boards to MacKinnon when he had support behind the net, and giving them an additional minute of zone-time, or getting three guys sucked into the corner and losing the battle, or blatantly tripping a guy when you're in good position to defend. Ugh.
