Reading here, most did not enjoy the 1st period nor the 3rd. To be sure, those two periods are the ones that Canucks fans enjoyed as their team was either much better (3rd) or were playing with a 2 goal lead.

I sure did not think that the Flames played a bad third period.
When I turned on the game last night, I already knew (by accident) that the game at least went to overtime, and overheard John Shorthouse said that the Canucks got the tying goal on the strength of outshooting the Flames 16–6 in the third period. I was prepared to watch a lopsided, ice-tilted fiasco with the Flames clutching on for dear life, and I have to say that is not what I saw. The Canucks got a lot of shots to start the third—7-0 at the 5:00 or 7:00 mark, but not a lot of quality shots. From that point until the last minute of the game I thought the Flames played a textbook road period with the lead.
