That was a very fun game to win. Would have been a gut punch if it went the other way, and it very nearly did. Despite the shot disparity I kind of thought the Flames struggled a bit raising their level. Legs were on and off, Hanifin and Andersson were sketchy and the top line despite scoring two goals was dangerous but not as dangerous as you'd like.
Good : Michael Stone, our unsung hero this series. Laid some body, closed off the forecheck, he was great. Backlund and Mangiapane both really good 2nd line play in this one. Toffoli saved his best for game 7 and was rewarded with a goal. Dube also very engaged. Johnny Gaudreau series winner baby, from that spot we all hate
Markstrom also solid, both goals were horrible breakdowns.
Pretty good : Tkachuk, also his best game of the series. Still got rid of the puck too quickly too often in my mind. Coleman had the puck going in the right direction usually. Zadorov and Gudbranson pairing might have been our best honestly, these guys are huge and skate well.
Not bad : Hanifin, some good some bad. Needs to be more assertive and less risk averse. Lucic was decent, threw some hits and him and Lewis pinned the Stars top line a cpl times. Jarnkrok, man that one shift where he was all alone in the slot twice. Gets stoned and then fans on a one timer. Rough. Tries hard tho, can't fault the effort. Him and Lindy played alright but absolutely got killed on the dot.
Wanted to see more from : Didn't think Kylington or Andersson were very good. Talented guys but just jittery and passive this game. Kyller again some good and some bad, the bad needs to be.. less bad though. Andersson off the mark on too many passes.
haha lol : Ritchie, largely useless. Zero hands. Less than zero even. Somebody else for game 1 against EDM plz
The City needed this win. Feelsgoodman
