This was my first in person game in probably 5 years or so. You could see the Flames get down after they missed the 2-0 and a couple of point blank chances from the Backlund line.

The Konecny goal was good, the Deslauriers goal was bad by the rest of the team, but the last two were brutal.

Tiger and I were talking in the second intermission how they’d totally tie it up and then allow a dumb game winner.

Backlund’s line was great all game, Coleman and Backlund were the only two players who showed up the whole game.

After the Flames tied it, you could just see the team tighten up and Markstrom in particular looked like he was saying to himself: “Don’t #### up, don’t #### up, don’t fu- dammit, I ####ed up!”

That was so boring for most of the game. Good to catch up with a friend though.
