Wow. What a game.
For the first half it looked like an epic goaltender battle with both Marktrom and Vasilevskiy repelling chance after chance.
The game was a track meet—one of the fastest games I have seen this season—which makes it even more impressive that there were only three goals scored through the first 39 minutes.
And what a finish: the Flames just took over and imposed their will, prompting TB to lose their composure and ultimately the game.
I said it in the game thread, but as fun as the Oilers win was, there was just a world of difference between these two games, and I think it is because of how skilled and confident both teams are. The Oilers game was much, MUCH less entertaining, because they lack the players to play at this level. What a treat to see two juggernauts trading blows like tonight.
