Sh*t happens is the way I see it. Oh well. Out of the gazzillion times I've seen Gaudreau make that move, this is the first he's actually fallen over doing it.

Yeah Gaudreau was the reason they scored their only goal so you can't fault him for blowing a tire as that was more bad luck than bad hockey play. This was the first game I can remember this season where the Flames panicked and tried to hold on in the 3rd period for extra time rather than try to win the game. Just goes to show how fragile confidence can be. Right now they really need to hit an opponent on an off night or get some soft goaltending as they are definitely gripping their sticks.
