Beyond the boxscore – G9: A battle back point

Hockey is a very unforgiving game. The best team does not always win. That’s a hard concept for a lot of people to realize, but it’s a factual statement. Tonight, the Calgary Flames were by far the better of the two on the ice tonight. Tkachuk said it best post-game that 3v3 OT is a toss-up, and Sutter said it was a good “battle back point.” Sometimes the guy with the pads at the other end of the ice does what he’s paid to do and stops the puck – it’s why they play 82 of these contests.

CF% – 58.
