The Calgary Flames lost to the Vancouver Canucks by a 3-2 score in overtime on Saturday night. Here are selected reactions from players and coaches following the game.
What’s was with the whistle?
Late in the first period, with the Flames pressing on an existing power play, Canucks defender Ben Hutton was called for a slashing penalty. The Flames got David Rittich out and put on the extra attacker and it appeared that Mikael Backlund had scored to give the Flames a 2-1 lead.
But the goal was waved off after Canucks goaltender Jacob Markstrom had made contact with the puck on an initial shot.
