Kings 2, Flames 1 (OT) post-game embers: Deja vu, again

Oh wow. Another 2-1 loss in extra time. Another one-goal lead that they couldn’t build on, that they conceded, that they were so blessed to pick up a loser point from. How interesting. Tell me more.

Squandered

The Flames were easily the better team on the night. They handily controlled play throughout regulation. That they only came away from it with one goal is brutal, but it’s nothing new this season: their 7.04% 5v5 shooting percentage is the 11th worst in the NHL. This is a team that’s second in CF/60, that’s top 10 in shots for, scoring chances for, high-danger corsi events for – and yet, nearly bottom 10 in shooting percentage and goals.
