I agree. If Dallas scores first, the last drop of confidence is gone from the Flames and the series is over. Oettinger was playing out of his mind, and it would have just cemented the fact that he's going to steal the series, despite how well the Flames were playing.
Flames desperately needed to score first to get some confidence in themselves. I hope they roll the next two games, and I think they will. They are playing like their game now, and when they execute their plan, they are pretty unstoppable.
