Watching that overtime, it's easy to see why the Flames are so good. There simply wasn't much creativity to either Detroit of Vancouver's play. The Canucks were playing scared, and Detroit was trying to play it like it was 5 on 5. No real creativity in moving the puck, and they mostly failed to create the odd man situations that Calgary does.
Watching that shootout, I'm further reminded if why ties are not a bad thing. That was just a dog.
