The Calgary Flames might have won on Tuesday had it not been for their painfully bad first period.
How bad was it? Officially, they received credit for just one shot on goal against Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen in the entire period. Even then, the validity of that “shot” is up for debate—the first person to present photographic evidence of its existence will receive a $5 Subway gift card. (It may or may not have already been fully redeemed and I am not entirely sure how to reload it, but alas).
The Flames looked miserably flat-footed from the start and wasted no time in allowing the first goal of the game.
