Flames Win Penalty Filled Playoff Opener, Defeat Dallas 1-0

1st: CGY (PPG): 5:01- Lindholm (Tkachuk/Gaudreau)

2nd: None

3rd: None

This game started off like you would hope every playoff game would. There was lots of jump from each team, there were huge hits, fights, you name it. But after five minutes of the first period, there were no more goals. Elias Lindholm would put the Flames up 1-0 on the PP thanks to helpers from Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk, but after that goal there was no more offence.

What did take off were the penalty calls. The officiating crew in this one must have thought they were getting paid by the infraction.
