It's interesting to see the Flames coming back from Anaheim with little or nothing to build off for tonight's game. By the end of it?
- Andersen looked very beatable. I think that Gaudreau goal actually got in his head a bit.
- Getzlaf whining long after the game was over to the refs, the first time he's looked anything but calm.
- Kelser freaking out believing he touched the puck/gained possession before the Backlund goal, when clearly it wasn't even really close.
- A PP goal for the Flames (finally).
- Instead of a 3-0 Ducks lead, it's 2-1 and it's game on.
In a span of about 30 minutes it went from looking like a possible sweep for the Ducks to a real series. Friday's game should be a beauty, especially if Ferland can draw back in and create havoc.

NHL Public Relations @PR_NHL Via Elias, @johngaudreau03's goal at 19:40 of 3rd period is latest tying goal in @NHLFlames playoff history #ANAvsCGY
Kristin Hallett @Kristin_Hallett
Anaheim Ducks were undefeated (30-0-2) when leading after the second period.... Until tonight. Ahem, 30-1-2. #NeverQuit
It's funny if you read latest to mean "most recent".

Final Stats - Backlund leads all forwards in ice time on the night.
And Hartley was singing his praises in the post-game press conference for his solid 3 zone play in all situations throughout the playoffs.
Goes to show you that the gap between casual hockey fans and professionals isn't just in how well the latter play the game, but often in how they assess performance.

I'm aware that I'm one of the bigger Colborne fans, but I have seen a completely different player in him this postseason, especially this round. Watch this week's NHL slow-mo video. Two of the big hits in that collection were Colborne! I entirely understand that knock against him being a big body who doesn't use his size (and let's be honest, he could use a little extra off-season size addition) but he's learned to be effective with it in the last month. Good on him!

I'm 4-0 at home these playoffs... but my dad is taking a childhood friend for Game 4... Though to be fair this same friend's only other game was the home win vs Tampa in 2004.
Gonna try and get tickets separately.
