Only caught the second half of the game. Flames were by far the better team in the third, deserved the win. Overall I thought the game was disjointed, felt like poor quality preseason hockey still. Despite their talent, Buffalo looked poor. Lots of perimeter shots.
The reviewed goal/no goal was the right call. Logically it was in, it had to be. But it wasn't conclusive on any angle. Still a really bad blunder by the Buffalo goalie. No idea where his head was on that. He's very lucky it didn't count, would've been remembered as a real howler.
