It was a lethargic game. Flames didn't have their step after the four day break.
Smith was beyond excellent.
Lots of stoppages of play, no flow, no hockey luck for the Flames. Carolina really had a hop and were pressing hard.
Jagr almost had two goals. Monahan's release and the sequence leading to it was amazing. It was an instant goal because that is how hard and quick he hit that shot.
I've never seen a player get hit with the puck and drop and play continue on and then the Carolina player teed it up and shot it at his head again, by accident or not, i've never seen that.
