Lightning 3, Flames 1 post-game embers: Square peg, round hole

After fighting back from a disastrous first period, the Flames gave themselves a shot to win the game. At least, that was the case before a bad penalty, and questionable biases and habits came in to cement the loss.

At some point, things will have to change. For now, the team is 5-11-1.

Karri Ramo's redemption

The Lightning dominated the first period. Their CF was 65.79%, and they outshot the Flames 11-8, a number that seriously flatters the Flames. It seemed as though Calgary would never escape their zone, doomed to flail around helplessly and pray the puck wouldn't go in the net.
