The Calgary Flames have played in a lot of entertaining games this season. The kind of games where you sit back and just appreciate the craft of their game at times. Thursday’s home date against the Montreal Canadiens was not a game to be admired, but rather one to be examined with a puzzled expression on your face. In short: it was a very odd game, for both teams.
The Flames lost to Montreal 5-4 in overtime in a very scrambly, occasionally quite sloppy hockey game.
The rundown
The Flames were a bit disjointed early, with passes just missing their intended recipient and bouncing just as a player was about to take a shot.
