We are a go for the 3rd!

Wild Goal

1-1

They came out pushing. Couple good shots before it went in.

[Drury18]

Looks like we are going to have a delay.

Wotherspoon broke the glass.

[FBI]

Come onnn Poiriartschi

[Drury18]

Wow, the glass is fixed already.

[Drury18]

5 minutes into the 3rd and Flames still waiting for their first SOG

[Drury18]

And Baertschi checks himself into the boards there. Had a Wild player lined up and the guy took off. Baertschi went straight into the boards. I'm sure that'll be on the highlight reel.

[Drury18]

Wild have come out looking like the better team now. Thiessen having to keep the team in it.

Flames being outshot 7-0 in the 3rd.

[Drury18]

We've almost hit the 10 minute mark and Agostino finally puts the Flames first SOG for the 3rd period.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Thanks again for the updates Drury, much appreciated!

[Drury18]

Holy, Acolaste comes out of nowhere and walks in on Gustafsson forcing him to make a save.

[Drury18]

Flames being outshot 10-2 now.

Just over 6 minutes left and we are still tied.

[Drury18]

Reinhart comes in with Wolf and puts a shot on Gustafsson but they can't jam it in.

[Drury18]

FLAMES GOAL!

EMILE POIRIER!!!!

2-1 Flames

Knew it. He had this coming.

Assist to Acolaste

Arnold should be getting one on this at some point. He did set up Poirier.

[Da_Chief]

I really want to see Acolatse given a chance with the big club. I think we have something with him.

[Drury18]

Last minute of play

[Drury18]

Flames not giving Gustafsson a chance to leave the net. 30 seconds left, he can't leave.

Iowa calls their time out.
