The Calgary Flames hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday evening. The Flames played fairly well, but a perfect storm of defensive lapses, odd bounces and the Leafs’ skilled players making skill plays combined for a rather one-sided game on the scoreboard. The Flames lost to the Leafs by a 6-2 score.
The Rundown
The entire game was very fast-paced and up-tempo. But the theme of the first chunk of the game was this: the home team got a good scoring chance, couldn’t pull the trigger, and then the Leafs went the other way and scored (or just about scored).
