The Flames often were down one goal with seconds to spare and succeeded. Let's look at how.
Without question, the most exciting moments of a hockey game are the dying seconds of a close game. Goalie pulled, extra attacker out, shots being fired desperately at the net for a chance at another five minutes or less of hockey. The story of the Calgary Flames' season was their prowess in the third period and knack for late goals. When they pulled the goalie, the Flames lead the league in goals scored with 10, and their -1 differential was good for third in the league.
