Let them have their fun. They'll be out of the playoffs before American Thanksgiving. Neither team really deserves a win last night.
1st Edmonton goal: pure gift from Grossman
1st Calgary goal: weak defense and sloppy goalie
2nd Edmonton goal: weak blocker, sloppy goalie
3rd Edmonton goal: bad line change, good deke by Kassian
2nd Calgary goal: bad PK, terrible neutral zone giveaway, good shot by Brouwer
3rd Calgary goal: another bad PK, solid drive by Backlund, sloppy goalie
4th Edmonton goal: sloppy goalie
5th Edmonton goal: a gift wrapped goal courtesy of officiating
6th Edmonton goal: solid goal by JP, another weak blocker from Elliott
4th Calgary goal: good PP
7th Edmonton goal: empty netter
Pretty sloppy by both teams. Take away all the goals caused by bad goaltending and McDavid's freebie and it's a close 3-2 game.
That was almost as bad a game as we could play. Lots of room for improvement: new D pairings, bounce back from Elliott, more time for the 1st line to gel, better officiating, etc. On Edmonton's side, that's probably an average game for them and won't win them many games against a team that isn't imploding.
