Problem with that first goal is it gave Montreal lots of momentum and I think it triggered some ptsd from when Elliott let a goal in from that same corner. Flames were bending and not breaking up to that point. I didn't get a good look at the replay at the dome, so I'll have to take a look to see how it went in.
It also looks like the players are frustrated at the refs, I don't recall as many conversations between plays. Must be frustrating not being able to draw penalties, especially on that one on lucic. McDavid would have been awarded a penalty shot.
