Mixing up the lines is always a fun experiment, however I felt it further highlighted the lack of RWs on the Flames.
Still shocked that Chucky's high stick wasn't blown dead and then more shocked it wasn't overturned. One of the 'clues' officials are taught to look for is, is the stick past horizontal? If yes, it's a pretty good indicator of a high stick. Think Brett Hull's goal in the 1996 World Cup.
Lots of focus on Ryan's play on the OT goal, not a lot on Tkachuk, he didn't make the best defensive decision after a lost face-off 3 on 3. Brodie has to not let that pass get through cleanly either.

It's always more than one mistake that leads to a goal in hockey, for sure.
But Ryan knows he has better jets than Tkachuk, and for whatever reason he reacted really late to that backcheck. You can't do that in 3 on 3 hockey.
