I knew the Flames were done in OT, Elliot was going to give up a weak goal, pretty much the first shot on net.

You can't really blame the refs for this one. 4-1 lead, no power plays for the Ducks, Bennett got away with a boarding on Bieksa. Elliot and Gully blew it.
If that one doesn't count I think we win the game. Also the refs were turning a blind eye to a lot of extra curricular stuff the ducks were doing. Anyway I blame the nhl war room in Toronto. I think Elliott obviously could have played better. Alot of lucky fluke goals. Deflection, referring mistake, off stone and in. He had a stinker but that's not the whole story. If that high stick goal isn't counted then we keep a 2 goal lead untill the 3rd. Close out the game like we did in the last 33 games with a lead. That 3rd goal took the wind out of our sails.
