Beyond the Boxscore: Calgary Flames miss the convert in Game 1

Quite the showcase for all the fans that never got to witness this for 31 years. The Calgary Flames got off to a hot start on some fairly weak goals before Edmonton was able to storm back. Calgary was the more dominant team for the majority of the night but everything anybody shot was able to find the back of the net. Players for both sides stated that they were upset with their team’s performance – next game could be really low scoring as a result. No matter what though Calgary banks the first victory and snags the early lead.

It’s a Team Game – The third period was actually favoured to the Oilers in terms of chances at high danger…
