Though it took them until the third period to finally score, the Flames played nearly as perfect a game as a team probably could. They’ll have to keep it up to prove it wasn’t a one-off, though.
Feel of the game
What do you get when you watch two relatively talented teams do their best to score, all the while missing passes, overpassing, and somehow simultaneously doing their very best not to score? You get this game.
At least, until the third period, when finally, the seal was broken – and on a Flames powerplay, no less.
