That was an insanely frustrating first period. Missed passes, lazy stick plays and a couple of penalties that were, well questionable IMO. It almost feels like the Flames were trying too hard to make something pretty happen. Berra was rock solid, and when he got floppy Stajan was Johnny on the Spot to bail him out. At least we have that going for us. I expect a MUCH better second with the Flames forechecking and putting a lot more shots on net. I mean come on it's Nabokov!! The Flames have shown they can light him up!
