Game 1 in the Battle or Alberta was an absolute barn burner in Calgary on Wednesday night, with the Flames taking a 1-0 series lead in their round 2 matchup with the Edmonton Oilers. Just how wild was it? Well, the final score was 9-6 in favour of the Flames.
At one point, the Oilers were down as many 4 goals, but they did manage to storm back scoring 4 of their own to draw even with the Flames at 6-6 in the third, though the Flames would retake the lead just over a minute and a half later and never relinquish it.
This is going to be a crazy series. I have no horse in this race with the Leafs now eliminated, so I'll just sit back, completely non-partisan, and watch the fireworks.
