Wow.
Feel of the game
Here’s the thing: it wasn’t that bad of a start. It really, really wasn’t. The Flames didn’t score, but they had their chances: the kind that, if they kept at it long enough, eventually, they would start going in. (Is this a little too 2017-18? Sorry.) It’s just, the Penguins scored first.
And then they scored again. And again. And again. And again. And again. Poor defence combined with absolutely atrocious goaltending, and on the other end of the ice Matt Murray actually made these things I have been told are called “saves”, and it just gave the Flames absolutely nothing to work with.
