The Calgary Flames lost to the Minnesota Wild by a 4-2 score on Saturday night. Here are selected reactions from players and coaches following the game.
Mike Smith’s rough third period
So, uh, Smith didn’t have a great third period. Officially, he gave up three goals on 11 shots in the final 20 minutes of regulation time. The nature of two of the three goals was probably enough to make Flames fans nervous.
The fourth Minnesota goal was a shot that beat Smith five-hole. The second goal was a product of a malfunction at the junction that resulted in a goal scored while Smith was still behind his net.
