I went to the game and didn't think the Flames played as bad as the score indicated.
I thought we outplayed them for much of the 1st and the 3rd period, Vancouver had 5 power plays, much of which were borderline awful calls, to our 2. On the third goal, which I think was Bieksa's, Burrows' dive right in front of the net was pitiful.
Irving wasn't good, he looks jumpy and kind of out of control.
Brodie was good and made very good decisions and outlet passes all night.
2-1 on a three game road trip, I'll take it.
Next up the Minnesota Wild.
