Said before, 1 minute earlier when the juicy rebound came seemingly right to Hanifin, but then puck hits the discarded goalie stick and slides away from Hanifin, allowing Oettinger to get across when Hanifin did get to control it, I figured we were done.
My feed was slightly delayed and when this happened, I was turning the air blue because I was like…we just can’t get any breaks. Frustrated, angry. My wife tells me that I’m scaring the younger kids. She doesn’t understand though that she has seen the score live and I’m about a minute behind.
She walked in as the flames had just scored. And I’m cheering and not cursing.
Crazy emotional swings. That’s overtime.

incredible video here. the moments leading up to the overtime goal, sutter and gaudreau moment before the handshake line, the handshakes and gaudreau + tkachuk on ice interviews.
great video
random thoughts
1. Man can Rick Ball call a game
2. Millen with the quick "Lindholm has been quiet lately" under his breath moments before the game winner
3. moments after the dropped goalie stick saves Dallas' bacon, Gudbranson loses his stick as the play goes the other way , I remember thinking "damn you hockey gods, so this is how this one ends..well played."
4. handshake line was great, handshakes lines are quite a thing
5. Tkachuk borderline speechless in the interview- that's also quite a thing
I just re-watched the game, because ... well, because.
The more I think about it, the more stunned I am we won that game. That's just such a Flames game to lose. Favoured? At home? Must-win? Playing amazing until game 6? Just ... so many things seemed to be pointing to a Flames loss. Then, of course - Goal Against on the very first Dallas shot. Classic, classic Flames. Work their asses off to tie it up and on the very next shift go back down by one. Keep working, keep working and we tie it up, but just can't go ahead.
That's just a recipe for the kind of kick-in-the-grundle loss we've seen over, and over, and over...
And they won. Not only did they win, but Johnny Gaudreau, our best player played a phenomenal game and came through in the clutch, while our go-out-and-get-him UFA #1 goalie signing played absolutely amazing.
Friggin' awesome, feels amazing.
I felt the same way. But whatever the flames curse has been, I think that Johnny OT goal has shattered it for good and forever.

Like a good Oiler fan i couldn’t cheer for the flames, but yeah, now that it’s over I’m pretty pumped to see a good old fashioned BOA. It’s been 31 years since tikky bobbed and weaved that goal past Vernon in OT, hard to believe.
Wasn't the shot off a Flames defenseman's leg?

Well done. Everyone giving you #### for this lacks common hockey knowledge that all superstitions matter. I mean if science mattered then Flames should have dominated those games. However, we had to appease the hockey gods, if locking an adult in his room works, I say do it every game till the cup is here! He is a big boy he gets it, thank him for holding his pee until after JG scored. We appreciate it.
It’s true. I have 4 kids of my own. I actually keep them in cages and the rule is that when the Flames score a tiny nutritional nugget drops from the dispenser. When the Flames win their water dispenser is refilled. This might seem kind of extreme but a few years ago I noticed that whenever I fed the kids leading up to a game they’d lose, so I worked on this theory for a while and came up with the solution that I could actually sustain the rules of the superstition and appease the hockey gods if the kids got sustenance the MOMENT the Flames scored or won. And look how well it turned out this season! Clearly paying off.
I did have 9 kids when it all started but that’s the way things go. For the love of the game and all that! Go Flames Go!

The puck sneaking in high and then Gaudreau gliding into frame with his arms up and the jersey in the middle is live sports gold. What a shot. The camera shot, I mean.
was waiting for someone to try and jump onto the pile and miss...ala Kobasew in 2004.
Tickets to game 1 - $$ - WIN
Tickets to game 5 - $$$ - WIN

High Five from Chris Sutter after game 5 win - Priceless
Shedding tears with 19,000+ fans after an insane game 7 OT winner - Even Sweeter.
Bonus feels for getting dozens of text messages saying the old man and I were on TV - Not bad not bad.
Bank account knows what has to be done.
It must go on.

Was at the the game and when they changed the jumbotron to the post game feed, prior to the sequence that lead to the goal it showed the Flames had around 125 shots towards the net. They just kept working it and you could see the Stars getting tired as the game went on. So many good moments from that first round.
