Will the Flames' second unit — the 3M Line — be able to neutralize the Avalanche's top trio? Given the job they did this season against the Avs’ big boys, the better question may be whether Nathan MacKinnon and Co. can contain the 3M. (via EricFrancis)
Given the job they did this season against the Avs’ big boys, the better question may be, how will the Avs be able to contain the 3M?
No, their 71 goals can’t match the 106 posted by the Avs gunners, but suffice it to say Tkachuk and Co. won’t simply be out to neutralize. “Whatever the recipe was, we have to continue that. That line is tough to play against and they’ve got great chemistry. But play them in their zone and they don’t want to be there. I don’t know if they are as comfortable in the defensive zone as they are on offence where it comes naturally for offensively gifted players.”
