Well, the second round of the BoA didn’t go the Flames way as they fell to the Edmonton Oilers 3-2. Calgary had a 2-1 lead and had multiple chances to put this game away, but Edmonton got some key saves and timely goals and in the end took home their 6th victory of the season.
It’s not that the Oilers were any better or the Flames failed in any aspect of the game. This was a great back and forth contest and will certainly go down as one of the better games in this storied rivalry.
