Seems like the audience membership has increased a bit since game's start--maybe they opened the doors for random passersby to come in out of the heat for a while?

I didn't see it that way. Upshall wanted to do that, but how often does it actually work. Perfect circumstances. Upshall took a chance and it paid off.
Like I said before, that goes in 1 in 10,000 times and it just takes the right amount of luck and the stars all lining up for it to actually bounce in.
However, I get that you've had an agenda against him all game long so I don't expect anything I say to change your mind.
I agree with you regarding the first one, but Ramo's positioning today hasn't been great, he's been swimming all day long. It's been pretty obvious.
That last shift Gaudreau won the the race to the puck and just flinched hard and lost the puck. That kind of stuff cannot creep into his game. He could've made a great play if he didnt flinch and actually retrieved the puck properly.
Thing is when a puck bounces like this it gives a bit of an edge to the home team as they are more used to it. They practice in it, they play games in it, if you know the puck will bounce a bit all the time you can get used to it as the home team where the visitors have to adjust their timing slightly. May not mean too much for a high end team coming in but a team with Calgary's skill level will it will be more pronounced Imo.
