The Heat lost tonight 1-0 in a shootout. A true barn burner.
The goalies put on an absolute clinic. Taylor was a beast and so was the Heat D.
Kolanos had numerous chances to end the game, but Fallon stood on his head. Patterson and Bancks (two very deadly PK guys) had a 2 on 1 shorthanded chance in OT and Bancks rang it off the post.
Fallon stopped Byron, Kolanos, Walter, Jessiman, Sylvester, and Aliu in SO. Taylor stopped 5 of 6 shooters.
Very unfortunate they couldn't pull out the win. The Heat are basically in the same position as the Flames. The Heat are in 6th place, 1 point of 4th place. There's absolutely no chance they'll catch OKC who is in first place. 4 points separate 4th from 10th!
Only 11 games left to play in the Heat's season. Let's hope Calgary starts getting healthy so Abbotsford can get Nemisz, Horak, and Desbiens back. Plus we need Rheault back from injury.
