I think it was coaching. Flames were flat in the first period trying to play the Oilers' game. Hartley adjusted in the 2nd period moving players around like Colborne replacing Byron on Monahan-Gaudreau line, even putting Wolf with Jooris line. They also adjusted defensively and they also started focusing in attacking more. In one power play in the 2nd I believed, they did not want the Oilers to set up their PK so they shoot the puck right away. They didn't score but on the back on the Oilers' mind they had to scrambled better.
