It's good that Stoll broke his stick in the second period, with the long change. he couldn't easily get a new one or get off the ice.

These things don't happen in a vacuum.
The Kings "let off", but the Flames started playing with desperation. Early in the game, the Kings dominated, but the Flames "let off"
I keep seeing this narrative that we won because the Kings let the Flames or because they stopped playing. That's just as true as the Flames started pressing the issue
