And there goes home ice.
As soon as Grubauer made that save at the end there, I had a bad feeling. Then MacKinnon got the puck and...well, that's the end of that one.
Gotta give props to the Avs who played the game of their lives tonight and were rewarded as a result. MacKinnon put the team on his back and his line essentially won that game by themselves.
Flames didn't start playing well until very late in the 3rd period. Hopefully this game teaches them a lesson that you can't take your foot off the gas in the playoffs. Not even for a minute. They know they'll have to be better moving forward, and I have no doubt that they will.
Buckle up, folks. We've got ourselves a series.
