CGY @ BUF NOV. 21
Man, the things I can say about this game. Let me tell you, my emotional state was not good after this game. After twenty minutes of play, the Calgary Flames were leading 1-0. Okay great, they’ll just have to maintain this lead, right?
Unfortunately, they had a different plan.

They got too many consecutive penalties and at one point they were at a two man disadvantage. This unfortunately led to three goals in a minute and 41 seconds in the second period. So now the Flames were down 3-1, and they ended up losing the game 4-2.
The Flames were only at a man advantage twice in the game and they failed to take advantage both times. The Sabres on the other hand, like we saw, were 3/6 on the man advantage. If the Flames managed to either get their discipline in check or you know, not let them get a 50% pp, this would have been a much different game. Who’s to say who would have won this game, but it could have gone either way.
Now, let’s look at the game that really should have gone the Flames way.
