Without the disappointing, infuriating losses the hard fought, grinded out wins wouldn’t feel so sweet. This game definitely falls under the infuriating category for a multitude of reasons. The Jets out arguably their two biggest stars and the Flames just couldn’t muster enough to do much of anything. Flames came out slow (surprise!) but as the game went on completely grabbed control. They led in CF% (51.52), SCF% (53.13), and xGF% (53.77). The pushback in the third was especially positive, but dumb penalties, a bit of bad officiating, and an unfortunate bounce and we go into tomorrow with the series tied.
