The thing that made Neidermayer great was his cerebral reading of the plays.

He shut things down before they got started, got the puck up the ice, controlled exits and entries all night.

Makar is a missile like Karlsson. Explosive, explodes up the ice straight at the net.

[StCapps]

Matt Nieto and short handed goals, woop woop.

[StCapps]

Fucking Nemeth, he's so shit.

[Smitty-48]

Like Scotty Neidermayer would put you in the sleeper hold.

You couldn't any zone time going.

Niedermayer just snuffed that out.

All night long, the puck being brought to your zone under control.

You never getting much controlled zone time at all.

[StCapps]

Rantanen playing much better these playoffs than last year, even though he ain't playing on the top line this time.

[StCapps]

Makar moving up to the top four on a pairing with Barrie since he scored.

[Smitty-48]

Avs are handling Haberta with relative ease.

There's no excuse for the Avs not beating these guys.

They ain't Washington.

Flames are a mirage.

They were one of the worst teams in the league, then the next year they are a juggernaut?

No.

They are beatable.

You just have to contain Tkachuck.

[Smitty-48]

Monahan and Gudreau are good, but not great.

They ain't Marner and Matthews.

They ain't MacKinnon and Rantanen.

After that, the Flames got nothing, except Tkachuk.

[Smitty-48]

The Flames had a classic Cinderella Season, they had an easy go in the regular season.

But right now they are invisible, Colorado so much faster.

TJ Brodie sucks.

Travis Hamonic sucks.

They have been riding a hot Giordano and Tkachuck.

This is a mediocre team when you look closely.

[StCapps]

Monahan and Gudreau are good, but not great.

They ain't Marner and Matthews.

They ain't MacKinnon and Rantanen.

After that, the Flames got nothing, except Tkachuk.

Yeah, and Gaudreau has been a ghost all series, he's done fuck all.
