WCQF/PDSF: (P1) Calgary Flames vs (WC2) Colorado Avalanche | COL Leads 3-1 (Part 2)

[Schred]

Go Flames Go! It's not over till that fat lady sings boys! Hoping we finally show up for a game. If not, avs have played great, and deserve to move on anyways.
Win or lose, it's been the best regular season of Flames hockey in my life and I'm okay with that lol

My heart wants to believe that the Flames win today but my head is telling me otherwise.

Same for me with the Avs. I think Flames will win it tonight.

 

[redfire11]

Yes I think the Flames will win tonight then it will be the Avs series to lose at home on Sunday.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Neal is scratched. As an Avalanche fan this doesn’t make me happy. Really enjoyed every time he stepped on the ice.

 

[Ararana]

I think what we're seeing here is one coach just plain outsmarting the other. It's not a coincidence Gaudreau has been completely erased this series, Avs knew exactly what to do to shut him down and they've done a great job of it through 4 games. I'm extremely surprised how horrible Calgary's defense has been though, they have no answer for the Avs speed. I knew Nathan MacKinnon was the best player going into this series, but I was not expecting him to be this dominant. I should have known, the kid lives for big games.

It ain't over until it's over and the Avs are going to see a desperate Calgary team tonight. We need Grubauer to be on his game tonight.

I want to see an OT game with an Ian Cole penalty and an Avs goal immedialty after they kill the PP

 

[EdAVSfan]

Nah you guys are good - high sticks against Calgary are not called so Avs can freewheel with impunity.

Lol every team has been doing it - also not called.

[Mac2Rants]

He's been great for 15 games or so

Yes, Hes been rock solid past 19 games lowest save % in his last 19 games is .903 and only three total under .926 in that span also. And a .948 sv % in those 19

I really, REALLY didn't like his game at all first looked like he wasn't even close to an AHL caliber goalie. If he can continue anything close to this next season the Avs have they're #1 for the next 6-8 years.

 

[Boy Hedican]

Always will have a soft spot for the Long Beach native, despite his horrible Sharks rap song.

Go Avs!

Ahhh got it. So when we get away with something it’s because the refs want us to win. But when you get away with something, it’s ok because everyone does. Got it.

 

[tucker3434]

I think the flames first line picks it up today and gives smith a bit of a break. Flames 4-2. Series heads back to Colorado with a decent amount of pressure on the Avs to close it out at home.

 

[Joe Sakic]

The biggest question is - which Mike Smith shows up tonight?

If he plays well , I think Calgary wins game 5.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Also for the Flames fans who think the reffing has been clearly biased towards us, we’ve only gotten 1 more PP opportunity than you guys. Reffing isn’t the issue here I’m sorry.

 

[bdub24]

Finish this team off already COL.

That's just how dirty we are

At this point, I don't think that should even be a question. Smith has been exceptional in this series and dialed in, surprisingly the biggest question mark for the Flames became the answer, while the answers for the Flames have become the question.

I don't have a lot of hope for my Flames, I'm hoping that they show some pride and desire and extend this series. But Colorado has been dialed in and knocked the Flames off of their game.

Having the skaters show up and play awesome but have Mike Smith shit the bed and lose it for them would be a very Flames thing to happen.

 

[RandomAvsFan]

I wonder how many goals the refs score for the Avs tonight

Anything can happen. I felt the same way with my Sharks and we went ahead and played our hockey and got the win. Closing out a team isn’t easy in this league. Desperate teams are fueled when their backs are against the wall.

Anything can happen tonight.

 

[NeverBeNormal]

Really hope Smith comes down to Earth a bit, can't see Calgary winning if he's off his game.

 

[PeterForsberg]

Flames win tonight, I feel it in my soul. Will put great pressure on the Avs.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

They say the hardest game to win is the one that eliminates a team...
