Gaudreau – Granlund – Hudler are a tricky trio to cope with. Exceptional forecheck by Johnny to set up Wideman's second goal. That kind of play gets people out of their seats.
Speaking of seats, how was the attendance? Lower bowl looked fairly quiet again. What does this team have to do to fill the Saddledome these days?

If it's the play I'm thinking of, it was Byron's forecheck which caused the turnover, where Gaudreau picked up the puck and passed it to Wideman. IIRC, Byron made the Ducks turn and/or pass three or four times with his forecheck.
And regarding the noise/lower bowl - it was definitely quiet the first two periods. But it has nothing to do with the lower bowl or the lack of a sellout - it wasn't an exciting game and the Flamed were getting manhandled. The third period had a playoff-like atmosphere - it was crazy loud.
