Strong play and high energy period by the Flames.

Sure...but (1) most of their high quality chances actually ended up either with no-shot or shots that missed the net and (2) they didn't score.
So naysayers will say, this is exactly the issue. The fundamental premise is that GG hockey controls the play but doesn't generate enough top quality scoring chances. There we're no high quality odd man rushes by the flames (2-on-1s, 3-on-2s, etc), the PP didn't force MAF to make any high quality saves.
When the shots are 19-6 and the flames don't score...i think it actually suggests the nay-sayers are right...
