You can add Mangiapane in with Tkachuk, sure. But I would say he was just defending himself, as Dallas has been going after him.
When I watch live, I get caught up in the emotion of the game. Which is why I like to rewatch games the next day - I see it from an entirely different perspective (like watching game film, you can focus on details and process). And the thing that jumped out at me more than anything else, watching game 3, was that Dallas spent the entire game trying to goad the Flames, and the Flames focused on hockey for the most part.
If the Flames can get a lead, they can start dictating the series more. Because 5 on 5, when they're playing hockey, the Flames have been the better team.
