What a complete gong show, oh man.
I'm not sure it's ever happened before where a team gave up 7 goals on 14 shots and won. Just crazy. Calgary came back from 2-0, 3-2, 5-3 and 6-5 deficits.
The flow of the game was ridiculous. After the 10 minute mark, Calgary dominated much of the night, but then one breakdown, or one heads-up play by the Broncos ended up in our net. The goalies weren't good last night, but at the same time, Jones faced a 2 on 0 breakaway and a 3 on 1 that turned into another 2 on 0 in the second period.
And, of course, with Savage and Skilleter out there, the officiating was a complete mess. Players getting tackled, hooked and held all over the place without calls. The Broncos threw a hissyfit after Calgary scored their 5th that somehow led to the Hitmen taking the extra two. So Swift Current threw another hissyfit after Calgary tied it at 6. Fortunately, Skilleter made the right calls that time, and the Hitmen took the lead on the powerplay.
It just seems like this team simply won't be denied. For only their second game in two weeks, they have managed to maintain the momentum.
