I've been a lifelong NJD fan, before moving to Calgary in 2007 and have started supporting the Flames since then. I've grown to love trap hockey. People say it's boring and they are entitled to their opinion. If you like a team that plays the trap it's pretty exciting, they end up forcing a bunch of turnovers that lead to odd man rushes and breakaways.
The Stars get full marks for sticking to their system and frustrating the Flames attack. Add in the fact that Oettinger's GSAx is +10.5 and here we are.
It was a huge relief when the Flames finally broke through in the third. Here's hoping they figured something out and can put that to use right off the hop in Game 6.
