That was a really good game for the Flames. I know the Oil were on a back to back but the Flames really controlled the second period and had some dominant stretches there. Markstrom was then stellar in the third when the Oilers loaded up. The Oil will be much better Saturday though and I worry what happens when McDavid is held off the scoresheet one game what he does the next game.
It is crazy that hope still remains for the playoffs. If the Flames get in they have some pretty key ingredients that were not on the roster last year which include an elite coach, top end goalie, and heart and soul defenseman. Still very long odds but glad to see the team slowly rounding into form after a horrible stretch
