Now I’m not going to sugar-coat the fact that that was a peewee level effort in the first period from the Calgary Flames. The care meter from almost everyone seemed non-existent. The fact that this game was tied at one point in the third is a testament to how well the Flames pushed back in the latter 2/3rds of the game. If this team can put together full 60-minute efforts on a consistent basis (Like the two games against Vancouver) than they can easily be on a roll.
It’s a Team Game – Even when adjusted for venue the Flames ended the period positive across all fronts.
