I thought the game was pretty even until the power play goal on that phantom 'too many men' penalty. Then the momentum shifted to Colorado and Flames couldn't recover on the second period. I was fine with ref not calling anything and letting the players dictate the game. I saw that Avs threw the puck towards Jooris on the line change. I didn't think it hit him and didn't think he made the play so I thought everything was fine. I was surprised when the ref made that call. Colorado got the lucky break on the second goal as they were outnumbered because Jooris collided with the referee on the other end but I thought Engelland got caught too. Oh well lucky break by Avs.
I don't think the Flames did anything different from their past few games except maybe try to shoot more in the first two periods. Varlamov was good but there was not a lot of rebounds and he can see most of the shots in the first 2 periods. Oh well we can't win it all and just move on. Flames can start their winning streak next game.
