I thought it was a really good game. The blues are on a roll and really feeling it right now. They are doing everything right in all three zones, support each other really well, and rarely make mistakes. Very difficult team to play against.
And with a lead, they just shut everything down. And they kept everything on the wall, which they are great at, and is not at all how the Flames want to play. Despite that, the Flames stuck with it, kept battling, and earned themselves a well-deserved point.
Wasn't happy with the call on Brodie in OT, after everything the Blues got away with, but I'll ignore that. What infuriated me was how passive the PK was in OT. That is how they have been playing it this year, and it has failed them every single time. Frustrating.
Agree that Johnny looks like he isn't having fun.
The team is 8-4-2 in their last 14, despite the fact that the top line hasn't been at their best. I think the team is close, and finally getting some practice time this week will help.
