Once again, we saw what happens when a good hockey team plays a significantly worse hockey team: the good team wins. With ease. It’s been like this for most of the season, but it’s still such a delight seeing the Flames be that outstandingly good team.
Feel of the game
While the game started with both teams getting chances, the Flames got the edge early on and never relinquished it. That wasn’t just signified by their opening goal – though it was beautiful – but by their overall dominance in the offensive zone for the majority of the period, the only real life from the Canucks coming after a tough penalty kill.
