50% of the time seems super successful to me TBH...

If they score there it might change the outcome. They would have had a 1-0 lead heading into the second and would have had the momentum as it would have been a late period goal and would have still had time left on the 4 minute PP.

If the Flames score one there my guess is this game ends up being another OT/SO toss up
