Overall Irving played well enough for us to win. Playing at home even with the inconsistent officiating the flames should have been able to dominate.
Up until the last Vancouver game this team was playing with excitement, pressure, and puck possession. The Wild aren't the trapping team they used to be but yet I'm reminded by the boring Sutter hockey that we've witnessed for the last almost decade when watching this game.
I really hope the last two games are an anomaly and the team goes back to how they were. If not I know I will be challenged watching this type of hockey for the rest of the season.
