The Flames didn't get a single scoring chance for the last 6:52 of the game, despite completely dominating possession prior, and being down a goal late. The turnover by Gaudreau which resulted in a goal (which he should have have forward support on, which refs should have called a penalty, which Smith should have saved), didn't even register as a scoring chance.
It is truly fine to disagree with each other. I think the Flames beat themselves tonight, and it's not because of what Gaudreau did. If GG thinks it right to single out this play, I think he's flat out wrong, but I'm not surprised that's how he views it. |
Thanks for that chart. I don’t disagree at all that the Flames generated no offence the last few minutes (apparently almost 7!), but interestingly enough, apparently the Sharks generated none for even longer (over 10!).
To me, that shows both teams playing safe once it gets close(ish) to OT, to ensure at least one point.
Still, Johnny has to be smarter than turning the puck over at our blue line late in a tie game. All of these points can be true at the same time.
