Calgary is a skilled team but we found a way to take the 2 points. This team is awesome!
10-2 with me in attendance

Are they going to let Palat keep that goal? I'm pretty sure he didn't touch it.
That's him though. Allow a couple of softies and then make some geat saves. But yeah, if he doesn't allow that Gaudreau goal he probably doesn't have to make the saves in OT.I didn't get to see the game but it looks like we were fighting Domingue almost as much as Calgary last night. You gotta save goals 1 and 4. But given how we played OT he saved our ass.
Onto Edmonton. Let's win this thing

They played well and there were times when they definitely put it on us.I’ve seen and heard from Flames fans that the game proves they could hang with Tampa in a 7 game series. And while I don’t completely disagree (the game was tightly contested), the simple fact is with Vasi in net goals 1 & 4 porobably never happen.
Yeah, I think this game is much different if Vasilevskiy was in net. No disrespect to the flames though, they have a good team right now. It was fun getting chirped by Flames fans in the first then seeing their faces after Miller called gameI’ve seen and heard from Flames fans that the game proves they could hang with Tampa in a 7 game series.

This is where we're at. We are a measuring stick for every team in the league, and we have teams playing up to the challenge on a nightly basis. We can't always bring our A-game, it's just not sustainable. We're still finding ways to win though, which will be valuable experience once the playoffs come along.
We're going to hear a lot of fanbases come out with the "we proved we can hang with them" narrative this year. I see it as more of a compliment than a lack of credit.

TL;DR version:
Hockey's far too complex and random to say the bolded in the quote. Can we just agree it was a fun game and leave it at that?
Watch the angle from behind the net, it's definitely Palat. Overhead plays a bit of a trick on the eyes in this instance.The overhead shows he didn't touch it at all. But it seems nobody checked that angle.
