Ah, how intresting. I see the Flames decided to wear their knockoff flying skate jerseys today. #Canucks

First period
Jordie Benn catches Markstrom off guard with the ol' "I thought that shot was gonna be higher off the ice" move. #Canucks pic.twitter.com/pLAacGBvbi

That was a sick read, but when Jacob Markstrom gets chase-y – both positionally, and in terms of his puck handling decisions – it tends to be a sign that he's tired.
This is his seventh straight start.
Something to watch for over the balance. #Canucks #Flames

Brock Boeser and J.T. Miller were not on the ice for an even strength shot attempt that period.
Tough first period for The Lotto Line.

Flames didn’t only take Canucks players. They took #CanucksHockey with them.

full credit to #Canucks for 4-1 lead. But I’m going to spend the intermission trying to figure out what exactly the Flames are

Third period
I think Brock Boeser really wants that Rocket Richard Trophy. #Canucks pic.twitter.com/cRrJsaLGEP

Top Performer
Best of Twitter
Getting scored on two minutes into the game and taking a too many men penalty, the Flames stole our players, our jerseys, AND our gameplan

I'm used to being right, but not often quite so quickly. https://t.co/l1REPBrT98

Flames aren't just wearing the Canucks jerseys, they're playing like them to.

Gotta admit, I enjoyed seeing the Canucks chase Marky from the net. He’s been having too much fun playing the Canucks
