Hate to say it, but Edmonton learned defence. They are still inept offensively McDavid aside, but that is quite the improvement by them in their defensive play. Hitchcock even made Lucic and Kassian capable of actually being contributing members of that team with their strong defensive play.
Flames didn't look good tonight. How many pucks were jumping over sticks tonight? Some of the calls (and lack of calls) I didn't agree with, but such is reffing in the NHL.
Oh well, you can't win every game. Very little emotion in this game, which was surprising. Just a flat game by the Flames, and just weren't able to get going all game.
