Wacky period. Started off strong and I thought they dominated right up until that tire fire of a shift that resulted in the tying goal. Canucks fed off the momentum and took over a for a few shifts, but thankfully Gio tied things up again to swing it back in Calgary's favor. The only goal you can maybe fault Smith on was the 2 on 1. I'm sure he'd like to have that one back.
PP looks a tiny bit better, but unfortunately bad luck bit them in the arse when the puck bounced over Neal's stick, resulting in the 2 on 1 goal. Overall I thought the Flames carried the play for the most part. They just need to find their confidence around the net and cut down on the mistakes.
