CGY vs STL OCT. 22

The Calgary Flames lost 6-4 to the St. Louis Blues on October 22nd. The blues managed to get 40 shots on goal which like, come on Calgary.

However, even with those 40 shots, let’s look at what could have happened.

The Blues in that game went 2/4 on the pp and the Flames were 0/3. If the Flames didn’t let their opponent go 50% on their pp and the Flames managed to convert on one of their power-play chances, there we go, the Flames would be up 5-4, since that last goal by the Blues was an empty netter. The Flames would have at least gotten a point out of this game, if they wouldn’t win it in regulation. But there we go, if they won in regulation, that’s another two points for Calgary and two points less for St. Louis.
