Jones tries to skate through four Star defenders, turns over puck, Dallas scores. Bodie makes poor pass to Bouma who losses edge and falls down, Russell cannot keep up with his man, and Dallas puts puck in net 16 seconds before period ends. Granlund high stick four minute penalty, Colborne two calls against, one resulting in Dallas powerplay goal, one last two minutes of game. Raymond draws the penalty that put them on 5 on 3 powerplay. He didn't score, but in second period he had a really good possession shift while the rest of Flames seemed to be skating in quicksand, which was immediately followed by Johnny scoring and the team suddenly finding their legs. He was not great in overtime, but he did some really good things in this game. It is so easy to point out faults when you don't like a player and totally ignore anything positive they do. Not comparing his contribution this season to Bodie, Bouma or Russell, but he was not the problem tonight.
