I would have picked Giordano as the goat and the big save. Taking that puck away from Parise on the goal line was outstanding. I'm still not sure why the ref blew it dead right away, as the Flames were poised to go the other way and Minnesota was got in and behind the net.

As for the goat, that penalty was ridiculous by Gio. They were just called for that last game and I think the game or two before that. Yes he didn't have his stick, but there is no reason to get on your knees and swipe at it. Kick it, pin it, lay beside it, whatever, but don't swipe it with your hand. It's an easy penalty to call. Handing Minnesota a PP with a minute left almost cost them the one point, and giving them a 4 on 3 in OT was a death sentence with the players they put on the ice.

The Flames didn't make many mistakes, but they made some big/dumb ones.
