Személyes meglátásaim:

- Soda gyengébb formáját Wilson és Rantanen jól ellensúlyozta
- Makar durván jól szállt be egy újonchoz képest
- Mack tarthatatlan volt
- Gruby sosem látott playoff formában érkezett a szériába
- kiválóan működött a taktika a Flames offense ellen
- az epizodisták (Wilson, Nieto, negyedik sor, de még Nemeth is) hozták a pluszt

THN szerinti 5 döntő faktor:

1. Shut down Johnny Gaudreau and you take the Flames out at the knees. Full credit goes to Colorado coach Jared Bednar and his staff. It’s clear they studied video that the Calgary attack is at it’s best when Gaudreau gains the offensive zone, buys time and moves the puck around. Johnny Hockey had precious little time and space in the Colorado zone. Sticks and bodies swarmed him as he approached the blueline. If he was able to gain the zone, it wasn’t long before he was separated from the puck. And Calgary didn’t have much of a Plan B.

2. Just when the Flames evolved as a skilled and offensive team, the NHL playoff winning formula changed with the third key ingredient being toughness, both mental and physical. Calgary didn’t have much of that. Matthew Tkachuk is more a post-whistle pest. Sam Bennett and Garnet Hathaway work the walls well, but don’t have much finish with the puck. This Flames team cannot play a power game. The Avalanche found a way to give that extra 10 or 20 percent in the playoffs. The Flames couldn’t and essentially retreated instead. That mental toughness is still developing.

3. Gaudreau has been both the best thing and worst thing for Sean Monahan over the years. Seems odd to be critical of a 24-year-old center who has averaged 60 points and almost 30 goals through six NHL seasons, including his best offensive year in 2018-19. But playing with a dynamic puck mover and playmaker like Gaudreau virtually his entire career has seen Monahan evolve into a one-trick pony. He’s pure and simple a finisher within 20 feet of the net. The other 180 feet is a struggle for him.

4. Mark Giordano took a big hit along the boards in Game 1 and looked like he was playing hurt the rest of the series. His skating labored after that. His offensive pinches were less effective, his shot from the point had less zip and he left gaps defensively. Could be he was so worn down from a regular season that will see him win the Norris Trophy. In the playoffs though, he wasn’t even Calgary’s best defenseman.

5. The James Neal experiment has to be over. Signed to a five-year, free agent contract paying him $5.75 AAV, the 30-year-old sniper was a complete washout in Calgary.
