Should Vilardi be able to walk in from the top of the circle when there are no Flames within 20 feet, much less a stick length?
I’m not even saying Vladar was good, just pointing towards absolutely egregious breakdowns
Sure stats say that the chances are equal but the Jets didn’t give the Flames any really easy looks like that due to their own poor D
I really don’t find that silly at all, to be quite honest
You know teams do a lot of video. Highly doubt that the coaches liked that when they review

The breakdowns on their own don't fairly represent what happened.
Winnipeg was the better team. They shut down the neutral zone and limited the Flames offense to a handful of possessions. From that they were able to apply relentless pressure. When your team is getting shelled gaffs start to happen. Hard to Blame the game on any individual player, because the Teams are far apart in terms of skill.
The Flames win games by woking harder, when a team will skill works hard, they normally beat the Flames.
