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.
Indeed. He's not like Marner. Gudreau will come and fits and starts, but he doesn't sustain the pressure.

Marner or MacKinnon never stop, Energizer Bunnies.

Gudreau disappears for long stretches.

Monahan has also lost a step, he's a pale shadow of the player he once was.

He's not even close to MacKinnon. MacKinnon is the real MVP.

After that, what do they got?

Tkachuk, Backlund and Neal?

So beatable.

Tkachuk is the only threat there.

Definitely beatable, plus Makar in the mix now, momentum looks like it's swinging in the Avs direction, hopefully they can keep it going.

Basically Mike Smith was lights out for one game. That's the only reason this is not going to be 3-0 Avs already.

Basically, just can't let the foot off the gas is all, or the Avs could still piss away this series very easily.

They should not have left Smith in, now he's letting in softies. Idiotic coaching.

The Avs can only choke here, next game decides the series, if the Avs win, Flames are toast.

I think Grubauer will be the difference. .960 svp down the stretch.

Flames goalies are trash.

The Avs can only choke here, otherwise Calgary is doomed.

Way easier opponent for Loafs West here.

If the Leafs could play Calgary they would roll them with ease.

Like Colorado is caving the Flames in here.

Flames can barely get out of their own zone.

Flames being exposed by Colorado speed.
