Quite the game. Love the jam from Mangiapane, the guy is fearless out there. Sucks to see Czarnik get injured — he looked good out there as well.
Wasn’t sad to see Janko and Lucic stapled to the bench in the third (I’m not sure they even saw the ice). Lucic had at 3-4 giveaways and Janko has been soft all season. -2 tonight.
Flames PP looked much better and were unlucky not to convert. I doubted Bennett on the third line but he kept at it and fluttered one in. Those are the kinds of goals he’s going to score so I’m glad he got one tonight, it was a big one.
Question of the night: did Tkachuk get a hat trick tonight? Saw one hat tossed right after he scored (but it only made it to the bench), another two were tossed after Rittich made his second save (one actually made it to ice level)... I don’t think Tkachuk gets credit for a goal even though he scored the last one in the shootout — so do you toss the hat or not?
EDIT: Nevermind — it looks Monahan got “credited” for the SO winner:
