<p>But that was all the offense the Flames could muster in this one. Shots were 13-7 Flames (8-3 Flames at five-on-five) and scoring chances were 10-4 Flames in the third period.</p>
<h2><strong>Why the Flames lost<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>The Flames were the second-best team on the ice.</p>
<ul>
<li>They had trouble with Edmonton&#8217;s speed, which really hurt their transition game and their ability to defend rush chances going the other way.</li>
<li>They didn&#8217;t generate very much speed of their own in the neutral zone, which really hurt their transition game.</li>
<li>They couldn&#8217;t get anything going on the power play.</li>
<li>They couldn&#8217;t get to the middle of the ice in the Oilers zone.</li>
<li>They got caught too far up ice and their turnovers killed them, too.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you want to point your finger at one particular thing, it&#8217;s this: when they got down 1-0, they seemed to over-commit to their offensive zone pressure – Mark Giordano used to phrase this tendency as if the team was trying to score several goals at once rather than remain patient when they got down in games – and it made them really vulnerable to those odd-man rushes the other way. The fact that it happened three times in one period is pretty inexcusable, though.</p>
<h2><strong>Red Warrior</strong></h2>
<p>He allowed four goals, but Markstrom was superb for two periods and the only reason this game was remotely close for as long as it was.</p>
<h2><strong>The turning point</strong></h2>
<p>The Oilers scored twice in 53 seconds in the second period, bumping their lead from 1-0 to 3-0. That was the game right there.</p>

The Battle of Alberta shifted to Edmonton for Game 3, with Rogers Place hosting the festivities. The Calgary Flames were decidedly the second-best team on the ice, getting decisively out-played for the balance of this game. The Flames were not particularly good and made a series of costly mistakes en route to a 4-1 loss to the Oilers.

The Oilers lead this best-of-seven series 2-1.


<h2><strong>The rundown</strong></h2>
The Oilers were all over the Flames in the first period, but the Flames got timely saves from Jacob Markstrom.

A Brett Kulak slapshot squirted through Markstrom, hit the post and stayed out. Nikita Zadorov cleared it out of the crease to keep it tied at 0-0.

https://twitter.com/zjlaing/status/1528534248847646720

Late in the period, Connor McDavid chased after Noah Hanifin, stole the puck via a stick lift, and generated a great scoring chance.

https://twitter.com/zjlaing/status/1528538212628541441

Shots were 21-7 Oilers (12-6 Oilers at five-on-five) and scoring chances were 9-6 Oilers in the first period. (High-danger chances were 5-3 Oilers.)

The Flames took a penalty late in the first period that carried over into the second. Just after the Flames' penalty expired, the Oilers scored off the rush. Connor McDavid entered the Flames zone with speed, passed to Leon Draisaitl, who passed to Zach Hyman. Hyman's shot beat Markstrom just inside the far post to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead.

The wheels fell off for the Flames in the middle of the period and Edmonton feasted.

Blake Coleman and Andrew Mangiapane entered on a two-on-two rush. Coleman made a pass back to Trevor Lewis, who skated to the bench and didn't really seem to notice the pass. That allowed the Oilers to grab the errant puck and head back the other way.

But that was all the offense the Flames could muster in this one. Shots were 13-7 Flames (8-3 Flames at five-on-five) and scoring chances were 10-4 Flames in the third period.
<h2><strong>Why the Flames lost

 	<li>They didn't generate very much speed of their own in the neutral zone, which really hurt their transition game.</li>

 	<li>They couldn't get to the middle of the ice in the Oilers zone.</li>
 	<li>They got caught too far up ice and their turnovers killed them, too.</li>
</ul>
If you want to point your finger at one particular thing, it's this: when they got down 1-0, they seemed to over-commit to their offensive zone pressure – Mark Giordano used to phrase this tendency as if the team was trying to score several goals at once rather than remain patient when they got down in games – and it made them really vulnerable to those odd-man rushes the other way.
