Yes, the OT goal was divinely influenced, but the Flames were full marks for this win.
The first 10 or 15 minutes was some of the worst hockey they have played this year. But once they started skating, they were able to put a ton of pressure on the Boston D with the fore-check.
And that started to tilt the ice the other way and generate chances. For a while, all of the potential rebounds were bouncing over sticks, or Rask was making great saves, but they steadily took over.
By about halfway through the 2nd, I was absolutely confident they were going to get the W.
And the amount of garbage that the Bruins were getting away with behind the play was atrocious - some pretty horrible reffing.
But they persevered and fully deserved the win.
And the assist to Montador on the game winner was nice too!
