Also, Ward left Lindholm, Backlund and Reider out for the entire last 3 minutes, which was a huge mistake IMO.
Even when they blocked a pass, they were completely unable to go after the puck. They just stood there. And with 3 minutes to work with, it was almost a given that the Stars would have found a rebound to pounce on at some point.
Yes, those 3 players are the best defensive forwards the Flames have. However, with all that PK work earlier, they simply didn't have anything left.
Bad call by Ward.
