Recapping the first round series between the Calgary Flames and Dallas Stars. This is the first time that these teams met in the playoffs if you don't count the 1981 Conference Championship when the Dallas Stars franchise we're the Minnesota North Stars then. While I felt this year things went better than last year against the Colorado Avalanche. Felt some of the same issues came to front on some top players not stepping up and defense looking suspect at time. Could also pin a few moments where the series was won and lost. First Matthew Tkachuk injury in Game 2 and second allowing Joe Pavelski's tying goal with 12 seconds left in Game 4 that forced the game into overtime. In that overtime Dallas won and tied the series up where Calgary was close to taking a 3-1 series lead. Explain some key moments in each game and give my feelings on each game. Ultimately as a Calgary Flames fan I'm suffering another first round heartbreak. Since winning the Stanley Cup in 1989. Calgary Flames have only advanced past the first round twice being in 2004 and 2015.

I go over the past season and potential off season decisions the Calgary Flames will need to make. Mainly possibly shopping around Johnny Gaudreau or maybe Sean Monahan. Maybe a few other players as well. Who to keep on defense for free agency and will Calgary possibly be a player in free agency? Will Calgary officially name Geoff Ward as head coach? Or maybe seek a Peter Lavoilette or Gerard Gallant who are proven veterans as head coach that are available. Plan to make videos during the off season when it concerns the draft, free agent frenzy and if any significant transactions happen. Thanks for watching and this will conclude season two. If I continue doing this I'll return for season three for the 2020-21 NHL Regular Season whenever it begins. Could be December or maybe January at this stage.
