In tight Flames-Stars series, Gaudreau is under pressure to bury limited chances

Dallas – Blake Coleman There is a prediction: his flames bounce, Johnny Godrow It plays a major role in it.

He may want to do it right away, as the flames fell two in a row in a tight series with Dallas.

Gordrow had a great opportunity to turn things around when he broke in alone with four minutes remaining in a one-goal match in the second half of Saturday’s 4-2 defeat.

Attempts to go to the 5th hole were thwarted by Jake OttigerEncourage frank evaluation from coaches:

“We left with a few minutes left, and they had to get rid of it,” said Darryl Satter. “That’s their job.”

Coleman was a little diplomatic.

“He looks good. It was probably just one of the many opportunities we could have ended,” Texan said. “Things are expanded based on the time of the game.

“Johnny is a great player. He was a great player all year round. He’s going to bounce. We have all the confidence in his game in the world and he has our team next game. It will be a big reason to come back to. “

Critics who were raining on Gordrow early in these playoffs went to set up Elias Lindholm early in the second period with five shots at the goal in the game and to raise the flames. Easy to understand the path.

He hasn’t done anything terrible at once.

But when time, space and opportunities are valuable, a dependable player like him puts more pressure on taking advantage of some opportunities in such defensive battles.

After Tyler Tofori spins and Gordraw wants to come back one-on-one with Otti on the Blue Line alone, nothing is better than the situation he found himself.

Gordraw wasn’t the only one who had a hard time sleeping after that. Coleman’s return did not come true exactly as he had dreamed of.

In the game, where penalties continue to be the main story, Coleman sat in the bottle of sin. Joe Pavelsky You have won the game winner. The same Pavelsky, who scored early in the evening before selling the call to Coleman, tapped Winger’s glove with 11 minutes remaining in the 2-2 game.

Satter then suggested that he called because he was Pavelsky.

“You won’t be penalized for the remaining (11) minutes,” said Coleman, who attended the American Airlines Center with 50 friends and family.

“Becoming a ref is one of the most difficult tasks in the world. If you want to call something sticky and sticky in the remaining (11) minutes, I think it’s better to call the high stick in the remaining minutes. In my opinion, if you’re trying to do it that way, you have to call it both ways.

“Clearly disappointing game, the game we thought we had escaped”

Penalties continue to confuse Flames’ desire to roll four lines away from the five-to-five play of bread and butter all year round.

By defeating the flame at 44-23, the star continues to irritate and punish the flame, prompting a lot of post-whistle calls that know the flame needs to be eliminated.

“There are too many penalties to get out of the box,” said Trevor Lewis, who drew the match one-on-one with Otti’s rebound, which Stars thought thanks to the interference of Milan Lucic’s goalkeeper. rice field. (They lost the challenge). “After the whistle, we have to cut it out.”

The coach agreed because his club also didn’t play well 4-4.

“It’s tight and there’s not much room,” Lewis added. Lewis’s fourth line was considered by Satter to be the team’s best forecheck unit. “We need to dig a little deeper to find out what we are made of. And make the second and third efforts of them. We certainly had a chance to win the game.

“I don’t think anyone thought it would be easy. There’s a great group out there that we do all year long. We have to refocus and try to win the next game.”

Many Calgary fans are beginning to wonder if this is another face plant in the franchise playoffs, but Coleman said no one has lost confidence in his room.

“Our group still feels really good and we’re really confident in our abilities,” said Coleman, whose club beat Dallas 41-32 but was 0-4 in power play. rice field. “We won one game and regained home ice. That is our goal here.

“There is no panic in our room. There are a lot of people out there who were in this situation. The reason is 7 games.”
