First, the Flames were garbage. Then, none of the bounces went their way. But they kept their game up, and finally, finally, finally, after oh-so-many rebounds and missed chances, they got what they deserved: a win.
This game never should have gone to overtime
Of course, it's hard to say whether or not the Flames would have played as they did had they not been down three goals. They really started to ramp it up just before Dallas' third goal, though, so maybe they would have. After all, once they got out of that horrid first period, they started actually playing.
