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.
We enjoyed the end result. With it being an OT winner, we really only got to "relax" and truly enjoy it after the game.
How is that for a logic pretzel 
I myself, mostly enjoy the game itself when the team has a sizeable lead and is playing well, wether it is to add to said lead or just sit back and defend it. I can also enjoy a close game or one that they trail slightly when the team is playing well and it looks like they have a chance to win it in the end.
Well, it's not been an enjoyable season LOL. |
I thought the Flames played the majority of the game better than the Canucks, from 3/4 of the way through the 1st right up until they gave up the tying goal. And frankly, I gave them a bit of a pass in the first with the penalties (and none for the Canucks). I thought they played well in the third - maybe the best with a one goal lead I’ve seen them play. They weren’t passive and had a lot of chances to extend the lead. And I loved the calmness after they got tied and went to OT. That powerplay was all business.
