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.

100% agreed. I was yelling at the TV for him to stop it and yet he continued doing it for several more seconds. I think the ref hesitated to call it immediately but he kept doing it, forcing the ref to make the call.
All he had to do was hold his ground and wait for some support, even if Minnesota had gotten it away from him, it would have been more than enough time for the winger to pick up the man.
