Calgary Flames

The Dallas Stars dropped Game 4 at home 4-1 to the Calgary Flames on Monday night. The series is now tied 2-2 as it shifts back to Alberta for a best-of-3.

Otter was outstanding and so that’s why it was 1-0 going into the third and we had some looks to make it 1-1 and then they got the penalty shot. It started with the first shift where our forward got caught on the wrong side and we didn’t close quick enough in our zone.” They were among the leaders during the regular season and they continue to pepper Oettinger in the first round. “We were very slow to close on them in the defensive zone which is why they were able to cycle the puck as much. We can address it but the responsibility is on the player to make the right decision at the time.” On the first four attempts when they needed it to break through most, they were turning pucks over and not threatening as the sellout crowd grew impatient. The power play went out and they had a chance to tie the game up but they were ineffective and all of a sudden it’s 2-0. Klingberg got his stick in the hands and Gaudreau scored on the ensuing penalty shot to put Calgary up 2-0. The turnovers occurred in all aspects of the game from breakouts and neutral zone, to the power play and offensive zone time. They played a great hockey game, and we were off a little bit, and when you’re off a little bit against a top-tier team like that, a big favorite in this league, they’re going to make you pay. Eventually, it cost them as two bad turnovers in their own zone led to unnecessary penalties and a 5 on 3 Flames goal that opened the scoring. The series is now tied 2-2 as it shifts back to Alberta for a best-of-3.

This was probably the best Calgary Flames playoff game we have seen in years. The Flames played like how they have all season. The Flames generated 54.

In Game 1, the Flames won 56% of the faceoffs and won 1–0. Game 2, Dallas won 57% of the faceoffs and won 2–0. Game 3, Dallas again with 53% of the faceoffs and a 4–2 victory. The Flames won the faceoff battle, and eventually won the game. This game showed the Flames that it is very much possible that they can win this series with their style of play. The team was finally able to showcase why it was the best 5v5 team in the regular season. This was pure dominance from the Flames and it was very encouraging to see. Second of all, Gaudreau has four points in four games this series, and he has recorded a point in 57% of the Flames goals this series. Dallas tried to clear the puck after the Flames cycled and got some chances, however the Flames quickly got the puck back and pushed right back into the offensive zone. Andersson scored at the 9:57 mark of the second period, and following that goal, the Flames were really able to keep the puck in the offensive zone. In a series where goals are incredibly hard to come by for both teams, both offence and defence are incredibly important as one mistake can cost you the game. We have seen better, but this is a good start for the line to get things going this series. A high volume of shots, and a lower volume of shots allowed, we saw this type of play from this team for pretty much 82 games, and it is very encouraging to finally see them translate it to the playoffs. He was contributing, effective on the ice, and was a vocal leader on the bench.

Calgary Flames sniper Johnny Gaudreau admitted to a bout of nerves before taking what turned out to be a game-winning penalty shot on Monday.

“It was a big game for us. It pushed a then 1-0 lead to a two-goal margin, putting the pivotal game out of reach for Dallas. It was really nice to see him put it in the net and go up 2-0 with, what, 10 minutes left in the game. Before heading back to Calgary, here we wanted to tie this thing up and just look at it one game at a time. It was really nice to see it go in.” “I was a tad nervous there, to be honest with you.

The Flames have out-shot Dallas 150-106 and hold a 15.24-10.93 expected goals edge. Markstrom has allowed just five goals (two at five-on-five). The Flames have been supporting him with strong defence, generally, but when Markstrom’s been called on to make big saves, he has done so. Just not a lot has gone into the net. But the Flames were a little bit better at avoiding shenanigans, and it likely contributed to their ability to roll lines and keep everybody fresh and engaged in the proceedings. The top six were superb, while the rotating bottom five were energetic and occasionally quite good. The Flames’ forward combinations have remained static throughout the first three games. The guys who played less did seem a bit tuckered in previous games and Stone’s addition injected some energy, physicality, and somebody who has a booming shot and isn’t afraid to use it. - Lucic – Backlund – Toffoli (1:00 / n/a xGF%) Game 3 It was easily their best game of the post-season and arguably their best overall output in weeks when you consider the opposition. Game 4
