This was an entertaining game but Calgary was better. They were the more dangerous team, had the better goal tending when it mattered and kept the Oil shots to the less dangerous areas.

I completely agree with you perspective, only thing I'd say if I were a fan of your team, I'd have a problem with the timing of Kassian going after Tkachuk. He can't do that defending himself in a 3-3 game. If the game was a blow out, go for it, but you can't do that in a tie game defending yourself (when you are a tough guy), you have to pick your spots better.
