Yes Calgary the playoffs started last night. However since you forgot and played like it was just another game in January you are now down 1-0. However if you decide you want to play during these playoffs, you can still catch up and win this series. Although as seen last night the Wings will not fold there tent and hand you the win.
Last night was not a good game from the flames very few scoring chances, little energy, numerous turnovers, and penalty trouble. Yes it was an ugly game and if this continues no matter how good kipper plays Calgary will not go far in this series and everything will be over quite soon. However a popular cliche in the playoffs is a series is 7 games, just like a game is 60 mins, a win on Sunday morning will go along and well Calgary will be right back in this series. Kipper played a very solid game, and was well to say the leasat hung out to dry by his teamates
The Keys to Sundays game:
1. Wake up, maybe have a couple extra cups of starbucks its an early one 11am mst or 1pm in detroit. Thanks NBC, but really hockey is supposed to be played in the evenings!!
2. Come out with Energy, get momentum and take control of the game. Yes this will involve hard work even though it will feel like a morning skate it is not.
3. Get to the net, they have to do a better job of getting to the front of the net, look for tips and rebounds dont make it easy for hasek.
4. Solid Defence, minimize scoring chances, keep Kippers net clear and let him see shots.
If Calgary Does these things along with staying out of the box they have a chance to win. Believe it or not doing these things are not complicated, they are just the simple keys to playoff hockey.
P.S 0 shots on goal for Iginla your star player doesnt cut it in the playoffs, you have to shoot to score!!
