00:09well the fans are certainly restless inside the arena here tonight hi everybody welcome
00:14to ea sports the home team's been scuffling a bit but they seem motivated to end that
00:20losing streak tonight centers are lined up official ready to drop the puck
00:29this thing's been buzzing all day about this one and we are now underway fires it stops that one
00:36st petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall
00:44takes the feed take on the attack from the left side st petersburg's got the puck along the wall
00:53right up main street and on the attack and that pass goes off a stick tosses it on to kadri
00:59oh a great heads up play to burst the turnover by stendon the flames look to start the transition
01:05game kadri's across the line now and on the attack in the offensive angle
01:14that's not a header in soccer but is this shot off the mask either way it's a save
01:25takes the feed
01:27pass back to the clock that knocks it off the puck
01:32oh look at this here they finally cut numbers how did he stop that one
01:37what a save i mean how quick you have to be to be able to get on that puck james
01:42and it's a score and quick is a hiccup they are on the board here in this one
01:48that's a dream start james and it's one they were looking for you want to come out
01:51you want to get out front and you want to dictate pace
01:56james this is just an absolute clinic and body position how to roll off your coverage and
02:01it's perfectly executed as he doesn't have much time to get the one timer off
02:05but he gets a stick available and he executes
02:24give me a sense about how the new head coach is feeling behind the bench now that he's got his
02:28first goal with his team well he knows that he's coming in he has to do something to make change
02:32because certainly this team is underachieved under the last regime but anytime you get a goal it feels
02:37good you feel like the team's buying in so you're starting fresh
02:40the flames take possession on the neutral zone
02:44they've got members here
02:46into the middle
02:47and that doesn't connect
02:50sends it quickly to here he comes
02:53oh that just looked like indecisiveness there cheryl
02:57yeah and a lack of confidence as well james when you're in all alone you have to know exactly what
03:02you want to do
03:03and you have to play with authority
03:05lots of hockey left to be played in this period
03:081-0 is where we sit at this point
03:12puck is dropped and he wins the draw here in the defensive zone
03:17has a threat
03:22looks to get the puck over to Kupka
03:25avoids the poke check and maintains position
03:28shuts him down
03:29I don't think we talk often enough about the skill of balance on your edges
03:34I mean he is able to manipulate because he is so strong and he's able to hold on to the
03:39puck even though the defenders are right on him
03:43Calgary's got it in the offensive zone
03:49great pressure with the stick
03:51scooped up along the wall by Pahal
03:54feeds the puck to Glenn Denning
03:57feeds it over
03:58here he is on the backhand
04:00and he denied that opportunity
04:03he can't get on the puck
04:09puck scooped up by Klopka
04:12he plays the play to the neutral zone
04:16takes it to the back
04:17oh and he works the way
04:19on the stick
04:20passes it over to Krap
04:22can't save you've got to be better than that
04:24and the goalie covers up for the whistle
04:30well it's a close game man
04:31you need a shot in the arm sometimes
04:33and the best way to do that is to physically engage
04:35and the response to that kick
04:37you just have a look at the bench and you know that the team is bumped
04:39the Flames need to find a way to answer back here in this first period
04:47Calgary's won it now they go on the attack
04:49Denning is over the save
04:55Pahsa down the ice
04:56we'll get an icing
05:02inching closer to the midway mark of the period
05:051-0 to score
05:09Calgary's got it
05:10and Moroni in top
05:11the pressure's on the defensive side of the puck
05:14but they win it clean
05:15and they have an opportunity right away
05:16with the tired group that they're playing against
05:19Pahsa coming up in the offensive end
05:21they'll look to maintain that momentum
05:22oh yeah after the icing
05:24they know that their opponent is vulnerable
05:25they're tired they're exhausted in particular
05:27the goaltender gets some traffic there
05:29and put the puck to the net
05:42he just spins around and tries to clear the puck
05:45and he fires it past the tender
06:00the Flames didn't seem rather than all
06:02falling behind earlier in this one show
06:04they're right back to even here
06:06well yeah and it's trusting the process here James
06:08and coaches don't love it
06:09they feel like you're not ready
06:10when you get behind the eighth ball to start
06:12but if you stick with it
06:13and you don't let the deficit climb
06:14you can claw your way back into the game
06:16and that's what's happened here
06:17as you approach the mid mark of the period
06:20here's the chance on the attack
06:22oh there's a blocker on it
06:23he can turn it away
06:25Huck picked up by Tucker
06:28Calgary's got possession at center
06:31and they'll battle for that loose puck along the boards
06:34and now he angles it across to Tolman
06:38Barron stick handling in his own zone
06:43takes the feed from his netminder
06:47and he serves it across to Coronado
06:50and he sidesteps the check there
06:53puts the puck in deep
06:55the Bears have it now
06:57slides it diagonally to Kapanen
07:02sends it in on the attack
07:05St. Petersburg's looking to break out
07:07quick feed to Kapanen
07:11the Flames have a hold of it in the defensive zone
07:16being hit and that frees up possession
07:21now he slides it up to Ove Cadell
07:25tosses the puck loose
07:27and a stick in the lane ends that threat
07:29oh it gets some lumber on the rock
07:31this is a dialed in goaltender
07:34very aware
07:34knows where the shooter is
07:36in that low slot
07:37and makes the save
07:38past the midway mark of the frame
07:40we are all tied up in this one
07:45Calgary's got the puck after winning the defensive zone
07:48good stand-up hit on the play
07:51Calgary's got it in their own zone
07:53trying to clear the puck from his own end
07:56can't clear the puck but they still have it
08:04the Flames get a hold of the puck in their own end
08:07slides it across to Kuznetsov
08:11off the left wing and into center
08:13St. Petersburg's got it in the neutral zone
08:17sidesteps the check
08:18big save in front
08:21Moussa to pull up
08:24along the right wall
08:25and into the offensive end
08:28takes a shot
08:29nice save by the keeper to trap that puck in his chest
08:36both teams gliding into position
08:38and the official set to drop the puck
08:43Calgary's won the defensive zone draw
08:47pop moved over to Bean
08:50receives the pass
08:53tries to increase
08:55score
08:59and then the recognition that you've created the lane for yourself
09:18I love it from start to finish
09:20that's a tremendous score
09:34the Flames are up by one here in the back half of this opening frame
09:38yeah and they deserve the lead there
09:40there's no question about it James
09:41I mean they've been the better team
09:42they've been first to the puck
09:43and they've owned the majority of shots to net
09:45not afraid to put it there
09:47now they've got to continue this pace
09:48and see if they can get a hold by more than one
09:50here's a short pass to Klopka
09:52turn to side with the club by Ellis
10:01Calgary's been very impressive to watch in the offensive zone
10:04and they lead it here in the first
10:07the Bears start with the puck in their own end
10:11Drupal's taking it from his own end
10:13here we go
10:14and the puck banks off the bum
10:20grabbed along the board by Klimovic
10:23and now it's grabbed by Beecher
10:26dished on over to Bean
10:30getting a little too physical to maintain possession
10:33there's another for the hit parade
10:37and that's a smart heads up play by Kadri
10:41oh and some smooth skating to lose the defender there
10:44good stop by Ellis
10:46too much congestion in front
10:48oh and another big stop
10:55wow James I mean not everyone can elicit a thunderous hit like that
10:59I mean he just clawed at his opponent
11:05the Flames have created a lot of scoring chances so far
11:08and they need it
11:09in this first period
11:13Kadri's won the draw
11:15and Kurtz has signed a slacker with ease
11:19and sends it just out of reach
11:21can't hang on to the puck after the play
11:25and there's the whistle icing the call
11:33late goings of this period
11:35Calgary's got a slim lead
11:37they lead it 2-1
11:38the Flames take possession here inside the offensive zone
11:42the Flames take possession here inside the offensive zone
11:43picked up a lot of the wall by Kadri
11:46Obey to Bell's got on the offensive end
11:49Keats will talk over
11:51and that's a great heads up play by Kadri
11:53sometimes when you're losing a coach will give you a little more leeway to get things done offensively
11:59you start to take some risks
12:00but this one doesn't work out in their favor
12:03stopped by the goaltender
12:04I'm not sure how he kept up to that shot right from the slot area James
12:09but man he flashed the leather
12:10he made the save
12:11no rebound to boot
12:13puck possession so critical
12:15another face off coming up here
12:22back one's won the face off
12:24and now let's see what they can do
12:25blocked in front
12:29Calgary's got it now
12:30puck grab by Kapanik
12:32loses the coverage there
12:35drives to the pink
12:36he scores
12:38well you can't worry about what happened in the game James
12:41it's all about what you do now
12:43staying in the present
12:43that's exactly what they've done
12:45and they've got the equalizer
12:49if you want to play fast
12:50you have to have quick transition
12:52and a quick counter attack
12:53and it's exemplified here
12:54with numbers off of the rush
12:56catching their opponent flat-footed
12:58and they're able to bury it
13:17the pairs have leveled the playing field in the late goings of period number one
13:21yeah no time like the present right James
13:23to have some urgency heading into the intermission
13:25and you can take that to the bank right
13:27I mean finding ways to get the equalizer
13:30now you've got a little bit of a rest
13:32and you've got to come out firing on all cylinders
13:34to start the second
13:35can't keep a hold of it
13:38as a goaltender sometimes you just have to react
13:40you turn the brain off
13:42and you just allow your eyes and your body
13:44to do the work for you
13:45and he does exactly that
13:46and he does exactly that
13:47with a reaction when he saves
13:49Palaz lugging the puck
13:50the Flames get a hold of it
13:53scrum along the wall
13:55Gola Coyne looks to make something happen
13:57the Flames get a hold of the puck along the boards
14:01less than a minute to go here
14:03in the opening frame
14:05quick pass over to Lozad
14:08can't complete the pass
14:10as it goes off a stick
14:14St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall
14:16read it perfectly and breaks up the play
14:22moves into the slot
14:27it's a straight up race for the puck
14:32well that brings it in to period number one

21:24Calvary's got a hold of the puck.
21:26St. Petersburg's got the puck.
21:28And a nice takeaway on the defensive end by Backlund.
21:32He carries the puck up along the wing.
21:58He's got the puck.
22:04It could be a big one.
22:11It could be a big one as we are tied.
22:34He's got the puck right now.
22:34I mean, that's a high danger, grade A chance that he's able to keep out of the net.
22:47He's got the puck.
22:50He just got the puck.
22:51He looks like the puck is up to the puck.
22:56He's got the puck.
23:00Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!
23:04A one's a pulp check.
23:07Moves it quickly over to Coleman.
23:10To the low slot!
23:12Blocked, although that might be a save.
23:14Well, that is a save, James.
23:15I don't think the goal designer will have gotten to position in time.
23:18He's able to take it away.
23:20Bahal's got the puck in his own zone.
23:24Through center along the wing.
23:26Here they come on the attack.
23:28To his teammate!
23:30The goaltender has to be able to anticipate the play,
23:32and he does just that.
23:33Gets square to the shooter in the low slot,
23:35and makes the save.
23:38The Bears gain control of the puck against the wall.
23:42Slides it over with pace to Barron.
23:45The Bears carry it along the wall.
23:47And that shot gets blocked by one of his own teammates.
23:51That's a goal!
23:52Oh, he got a little sliver of it!
23:55And it stays out!
23:57Padre's been so dialed in and confident, James,
23:59in particular in the offensive end.
24:01I mean, his puck touches are off the charts.
24:03He wants it, he trusts his skill set,
24:05and he's taking it to the net.
24:10Calgary's got it.
24:11Calgary's got it in the defensive zone.
24:12Quick pass to Shane Gordon.
24:15Calgary's crossed the line and on the attack.
24:18A spirited battle along the boards for the puck.
24:22Here they come on the attack down the left side.
24:29Slides it across!
24:31Passes it over!
24:33Oh, a little cat burglar-like play with the stick.
24:36Nicely done.
24:38Tried to get 2-Q with it and loses possession.
24:41Calgary's close to finding a hole there,
24:43and does an extra move.
24:44Thought he had a little more time and space
24:45than he actually had in the play, guys.
24:48Grabs in his own end.
24:50Delayed penalty coming up here.
24:53There's the whistle, and here's the call.
24:56Best gets off to the sit-in for cross-checking.
24:59The cross-check is not a hockey play.
25:01I mean, it's a frustration play,
25:03and you're gonna get the call all day long
25:04if you move those hands away from your body,
25:06and you try and move a player.
25:13Guys, this power play, as we know,
25:15is right toward the bottom of the week.
25:16But that's not for us to remind them of.
25:18That's the coach's job.
25:20They've got a huge opportunity here.
25:21We know they've been working hard.
25:23Let's see if they can put that work to the test.
25:27St. Petersburg's going to be able to kill
25:29a few seconds off now with the power.
25:31Demise him on a spot!
25:33What a hit against the wall there!
25:38Huge steal on his own end.
25:40Calvary's got a hold of it along the wall.
25:42And that was stopped.
25:45Out, out, out!
25:48And the court-center's gonna play it out of the crease.
25:52Passed up ahead.
25:54Tanks a spill onto the ice and loses the puck.
25:58Calvary's grabbed a hold of the puck.
26:00Tosses it to Fairby.
26:03Oh, a great play to sidestep the puck check.
26:06Trying to get the puck out of his own end.
26:09Oh, what a nice job getting the puck out of his own.
26:11Ah, first you gotta get it.
26:13The PK unit does a great job reading
26:15where that puck is going to be able to retrieve it.
26:17And then you gotta get it down the ice,
26:18recognizing the glass is the best option.
26:21Perfectly executed.
26:22And a successful clearing attempt.
26:26Token up with the stick in the defensive end.
26:34Grabs the puck and moves on out here at this man advantage.
26:40Caught it right to the front.
26:41And the puck dies with the Traversay.
26:49Let's have another look at that monster on the hit there, James.
26:52You gotta love it.
26:53You have to have great timing.
26:55You gotta know when your opponent's vulnerable.
27:02Glenn Denning's recognizing they're still shorthanded here
27:05as they get ready for the face-off.
27:12The Flames will go to work here in the offensive zone.
27:15Archon-Mick was saving the one-timer!
27:20Trying to fill up with a huge defensive play
27:22to get this puck out of his own end.
27:25The Flames look to start the transition game.
27:31Taken by Sharon Govich.
27:33Here's a shot!
27:34Gives them nothing in front!
27:37Goaltender covers up and will get a face-off.
27:43Seri's ready for the draw on this man advantage.
27:50O'Brien's won the draw in his own end.
27:53Now let's see if they can clear it.
27:55Sends the pass over.
27:57Denied by the puck stopper.
27:59Ellis has been constant and consistent in the net tonight
28:02for his team, James.
28:03And they've had an opportunity to build momentum off multiple saves.
28:06I mean, the volume of shots he's seen, he needs a rest.
28:10I mean, his face is red.
28:14Bastian's almost back on the ice.
28:16Bastian's almost back on the ice.
28:17Puck stooped up by Beans.
28:19And all big time saves by Ellis.
28:23Long jam and front is broken up.
28:26Picked up along the boards by Cartier.
28:29The fling's ready to go on the attack.
28:32Where's the whistle?
28:33And a much-needed one-up back, Cheryl.
28:35Pudderen takes a breath of fresh air here as they're able to reset it.
28:39They get chaotic in their own zone.
28:41They've lost their coverage.
28:42They get the whistle now.
28:43More than half the period has gone by.
28:45I hope you're enjoying this one.
28:47We've got a tie game.
28:49And it's off the air!
28:51Face-off coming up as the puck goes up and over the glass.
28:55Bastian's last chance is going to ring off the post here, James.
28:59He is frustrated looking up at the stands up at the sky right now.
29:02He can't believe he didn't put it in the net.
29:18The center is right into position.
29:25And momentum on their side as they win the draw here inside the offensive zone.
29:31Good!
29:31Hit to lock the puck loose.
29:34Into the offensive end, right up the middle.
29:39Knocked off the puck there.
29:41Tries to get the puck over to Anderson.
29:45Handles the pass.
29:47Nice zone entry on the left side.
29:50Tries to make a move and can't hang on to the puck.
29:54Backlund's got a lot of flash to his game, in particular with his hands and the ability to manipulate his
29:58opponent.
29:59But he gets caught on that one and the puck dies on his stick.
30:05This is a laser and the puck!
30:07And a great Seagull!
30:09Kadri's won the draw, that look to setup.
30:12From the point, and that shot dies in traffic!
30:15And a great Seagull!
30:18Puck is frozen and we get a stopach in play.
30:23They'll look to maintain the momentum with this offensive zone faceoff.
30:26This is game management and attack mentality, recognizing that there's an icing and your opponent is vulnerable.
30:31Put the puck to the net, the goaltender's gas, take away his eyes.
30:35Oh, Hockney, keep it out.
30:37What a blocker stop by Ellis.
30:40Hock last, lays out the block.
30:44Now can it get up?
30:45Oh, big time stop there.
30:48That's a fantastic save by the goaltender, but this team has to do a better job of protecting the middle
30:53of the ice.
30:54As those high-danger scoring chances eventually go in.
31:00That's the midway mark in this period.
31:02You can feel the energy in this crowd.
31:05It's a tie game.
31:08The Flames run the face-up.
31:10Shot!
31:11That man's broken up.
31:12And he fights off another save.
31:16There's the whistle as the puck stopper lets to hang on.
31:20Well, the goaltender does not go on, and no one can believe it, James.
31:24We're going to have another look at it.
31:25Man, was that ever electric.
31:27This is unbelievable that he can get to this puck.
31:30You think it's in the net, then he comes out of nowhere with a scrolling athletic save.
31:35The centers will glide into the dot.
31:42And they win the draw in the offensive zone, and they go to work.
31:46Steps in front of him for the block.
31:49And here's the pass to Bastion.
31:52Oh!
31:53Oh, and that goes sideways.
31:56Yeah, it's a tough look, James, and a missed opportunity.
31:58It's not often that you get in all alone.
32:01At the very least, you've got to make the goaltender make a save.
32:04Offside the call.
32:05We'll get a reset.
32:08In the final moments of this period, we are all tied up in this one.
32:18After the block, center, they've got to hold to the puck.
32:22Slides the puck over.
32:24Quick feed to draft.
32:25Puck saying with ease.
32:28Loose it over to Kadri.
32:30Scooped up along the wall by Therabee.
32:33Puck picked up by Sharon Govich.
32:36The Flames take it along the wall.
32:39And now it's grabbed by Sharon Govich.
32:41Oh, denies him with the paddle save.
32:45Handles the puck.
32:49Here's a beat in front.
32:50And he shuts down a great scoring chance there.
32:56The Flames move to the offensive zone.
33:00Grabbed along the board by Courtier.
33:02And they'll go the other way with it.
33:04Great play by Zeri.
33:06Music to Kospisil.
33:08What a steal at his own end.
33:10Puck grabbed by Kraft.
33:14Pucked up along the wall by Glenn Denning.
33:16Can it stay on his feet after that hit?
33:19Tries to get the puck to Zeri.
33:23Here's a chance.
33:25And that's blocked.
33:26Oh, the puck's in.
33:28Stopped by the bullittender.
33:30They've got a whistle as the puck's frozen.
33:43Nice start winning the draw here inside the offensive zone.
33:48Moves the puck to low side.
33:50And that's picked off in the neutral zone by Backman.
33:53Oh, it stays out as he gets a piece of that one.
33:57Rebound control is critical in the game of hockey.
34:00Putting it to the corner.
34:01And now the offensive player has to pound the puck.
34:04Here's a short pass to Oval Cabello.
34:07The second pass is almost done.
34:09Well inside a minute now.
34:12The Flames move the puck in the defensive zone.
34:18The Bears have it behind the cage.
34:21Sends it ahead to Robertson.
34:26Calgary's got it in their own zone.
34:29Loose it quickly over to Peacher.
34:33Puts it on net.
34:34Oh, what a stop there with Todd winding down.
34:41Ellis has been dialed in between the pipes here tonight.
34:43James just finds that he's tracking the puck extremely well.
34:46Controlling his rebound.
34:47And making the tight save when he needs to.
34:49One of the things I love about this is that it helps with your structure.
34:53You're not running around in your own zone.
34:54You lure them up who's going to go and they can get out with ease.
35:16There's the horn.
35:17440 minutes in the books.
35:18We'll get a refresh for both the players.
35:21Ice.
35:22Back with a third period next.
40:11Calgary's got a hold of the puck.
40:15They try to maintain possession inside the defensive zone.
40:21Oh, he kind of struggled with that one, but he got just enough to keep it out.
40:28Calgary's got a wing of it against the wall.
40:31St. Petersburg's got the puck here in the open ice.
40:34Captain's had an impressive night, he's had a multiple point night, creating a ton of offense, and you know that
40:40he's not done yet.
40:42From the open ice, they gain the line.
40:45Went away, went away, tremendous save on an incredible chance there.
40:50He's typically so good in this one-on-one situation.
40:58And that's out of reach and out of the offensive zone.
41:05St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck.
41:08Quick feed to pull up.
41:10Quick feed to pull up.
41:10Look at this.
41:11So, Burt Sabanis here on attack.
41:14Shucks him down.
41:15What a fantastic save from a high-danger scoring area, James, and, I mean, he's bailing this.
41:20Up to the inside of the end zone.
41:23I love offense, James.
41:24I never really provided any, and I would have missed this one.
41:27But right in there on the tender and isn't able to get it in the 4x6 instead of with the
41:32piping out.
41:34Oh, and here's the pass.
41:36Big time block on the plate.
41:38Well, he's doing what it takes, James.
41:40And listen, Coach is going to love that one, and I expect to see him out here again.
41:43Nice dish from the left wing.
41:46Cuts to the front!
41:48And he strikes that one with the club!
41:56Well, the puck doesn't go in at either end of the ice here, but both teams are trading Grade A
42:00chances right now.
42:01There is a ton of pace and volume of shots to this game right now.
42:15Getting closer to the halfway point of this frame.
42:17The next goal could be a big one, as we are tied.
42:22Two, two, two, three, two, three, two, three, two.
42:24The Bears win the draw here in their own end.
42:29The Flames grab possession to the puck.
42:31Shakes off the defender with some nifty moves.
42:35Quick shot!
42:36And that doesn't reach the net.
42:39Moves it to Pahol.
42:43Moves it around along the half wall.
42:47Levels him with the hit.
42:49Now, who saw the hit, James?
42:51We know how hard it was, so it's not surprising to see that he is laboring, really struggling to get
42:56back to the bench.
42:58The Flames will play it in their own end.
43:02Over the line they come.
43:06Ties it in front.
43:07Well, this is just a great save from the slot area.
43:11I mean, he recognizes where that puck's going.
43:13He gives the top of the net, but he takes it away.
43:16Well, that hit had to hurt, James.
43:17Let's have another look at that one.
43:19I mean, he goes down hard, and when you have a hit like that, you're feeling it all over your
43:23body.
43:32Looks like lineups are set, and they're ready to get things back underway.
43:39St. Petersburg's gonna start with the puck in their own end.
43:44Taken by Stenland.
43:47And he takes the feed.
43:49Here's a short pass to Pahol.
43:51Moving the pass in front.
43:53And he demise that.
43:55Great opportunity there.
43:59Balls moving the puck through his own zone.
44:02Throws it in.
44:04St. Petersburg's got the puck along the boards.
44:07Moves it quickly over Jabera.
44:09Slides it across.
44:11That's not gonna fool him.
44:13Grabs the puck in the corner.
44:15Here's a shot.
44:16Got the best seeds there.
44:19He does a great job being such a position here.
44:21Otherwise, he's not gonna be able to make that second save, James.
44:24But it's pure athleticism that gets the job done.
44:26Still lots of time left in the period.
44:29We got a tie game.
44:35St. Petersburg's won the draw.
44:36Now let's see what they can do with it.
44:37Oh, Frank Mook decides to set the check.
44:42Handles the puck at the point.
44:44On the attack along the boards.
44:46Caves control the puck here at the line.
44:49And now it's grabbed by Anderson.
44:51Oh, and a miss.
44:54He's got numbers.
44:56Oh, he just got enough of that to keep it out.
45:00Ellis stops the puck and redirects it to the corner.
45:05Moves the puck along the half wall.
45:07And he denied him there.
45:09Gives up the body for the block.
45:12He's locked.
45:13And it goes off a step.
45:16The Flames have it against the wall.
45:18They'll need more than that to beat him.
45:22And he moves it up to Fabry.
45:24He's got a step.
45:26Oh, what a save goal advantage there.
45:29Well, yeah.
45:30And how often do you see it after practice, James?
45:32Like five puck breakaway after breakaway.
45:34Well, this goal defender, he does his job.
45:36Making himself big as possible.
45:38And taking away any daylight.
45:40Here in the back half of this period,
45:42you can feel the energy in this crowd.
45:45It's a tie game.
45:47Calgary's got the puck.
45:49Trying to shake the defender.
45:53What a stop on the breakaway.
45:56St. Petersburg's got the puck.
46:00Quick pass to Fabry.
46:02Knocked away.
46:04Heaps it out.
46:04Got a piece of it with the trapper.
46:07Oh, it's another consecutive save.
46:09His shot's coming from the middle of the ice,
46:11and it has some heat on it,
46:13but he's ready and waiting for it.
46:14He's to position, and he makes the save.
46:17Taken along the wall by D'Angelo.
46:22Kapanen's got it against the boards.
46:24Tries to feed it over to Robertson.
46:26Beautiful.
46:27He's done a little jump.
46:31Stones him on the breakaway.
46:33Quick pass to Robertson.
46:35And a good heads-up defensive play in the open ice.
46:40Dishes it off.
46:42Fantastic scene.
46:44Huge play.
46:46This open end to come over the puck.
46:49He takes it into the slot.
46:50Great score.
46:52It's much cold.
46:54Well, it's very timely, isn't it, James?
46:57To give them the lead, and also the confidence that they've shown these past few shifts led to that opportunity.
47:03I'm gonna take this replay back to where it all began, and it's gonna be on the hit.
47:08I mean, in that contact zone that separates a player from Huck.
47:10I mean, if you don't make this hit, you don't get possession, and there's no scoring.
47:21Calvary's down that little something, and they've gone up by one here in the third show.
47:25I like their game right now.
47:26Yeah, they've got a lot of press, a lot of aggressiveness to their game right now.
47:29It's a reason why they've got it on the board, but I'll have to be careful here.
47:32You know the opponent is gonna get urgent at the back half of this period.
47:36Oh, and Corey Freed!
47:37Oh, and somehow he gets a sliver of it and keeps him at bay.
47:43Picks off the pass.
47:44The Clames have been playing great defensively.
47:47Their six are in the right position, but they need to make good on them.
47:49This game is awfully close.
47:52Back to the point it goes.
47:55Quick feed to Pahal.
47:57And he blocks that one.
47:59The team's leading in the third period.
48:01It's those types of plays that get you the recognition.
48:04You're sacrificing your body to take away the shot lane.
48:06That's great work.
48:07Moose it to Glenn Denning.
48:09Great defensive effort breaking up the pass.
48:13And he takes the feed.
48:17Oh, my!
48:19The Bears will play it from the defensive zone.
48:23And that's deflected.
48:25Picked up here in the neutral zone by Krak.
48:29From his own end, he picks up the puck.
48:31Here's the chance.
48:34Looks like there's a delayed penalty being called here by the officials.
48:38Burrows is going off for interference.
48:40Whoever has a role in this PK unit knows that they not only have to kill this penalty off and
48:45keep the game within reach, but maybe they can be opportunistic and pounce on a loose puck for an opportunity.
48:56Well, he's got another opportunity here on the man advantage.
48:59They're opening a frustrating power play.
49:01They have to find a way to open the ice up.
49:03If they can have quick, hard movement, they're going to cause the coverage to stall blow.
49:08And that quarterback up high can let one win.
49:15There, he's been a dominant performer in this game.
49:17I'd love to see his possession numbers post-game.
49:20I mean, I think his metrics are going to be outstanding.
49:23He had tons of good looks here, James, throughout the game, finally capitalizes.
49:26But I love that his process stayed the same.
49:29He worked hard, he got to the spots, and he continued to get the looks.
49:39Chance to reset here on the draw on this man advantage.
49:45The Flames win the draw.
49:49And the puck leaves the offensive end.
49:51They'll be forced to do it over from center.
49:54Calgary's got the puck in the defensive end.
49:56And that's knocked away.
49:59And tries to make a diagonal pass to Lozad.
50:02Couldn't catch up to that pass.
50:04Here's a short pass to Kapanen.
50:07Jostled off the puck.
50:09Let's move to the middle.
50:11And nothing materializes on that chance.
50:14Takes the pass on the left wing.
50:16And he gets in front of the slap shot to make the save.
50:22Along the wing, up the neutral zone.
50:28Anderson's got it on the defensive end.
50:31Directed over to Shernkovich.
50:36Shot!
50:36Stopped by the goaltender.
50:39Aggressive play with the poke chicken.
50:40He pays off.
50:43Nice zone injury from the middle.
50:47Set to the front.
50:48And that's stuck.
50:51Calgary's got a hold of the puck now.
50:53Oh!
50:54It stops him again!
50:55In front of the net, the goaltender covers up for a whistle on the play.
51:01Power play set to roll on as the centers get ready for the face off.
51:07And they win the draw here in their own end.
51:10Tries to get this man advantage going from their own end now.
51:14Moves it quickly over to Faraby.
51:16And the goaltender comes up with a piece of it to keep it out of the net.
51:22Quick pass to O'Brien.
51:24Calgary's got it in the neutral zone.
51:27And he sidesteps the chick there.
51:30Shot!
51:31And cut that one out of the net!
51:33Slides the puck to O'Brien.
51:38Skates to the crease!
51:39And that climbs off the iron!
51:42St. Petersburg starting to generate more chances.
51:45Miss exactly what you want.
51:46When the game is post, you have to find a way to get it back to equal.
51:50This one goes off the pipe, but they can't get frustrated.
51:52Just continue to pump away and generate those opportunities.
51:57D'Angelo's got it along the line.
51:59Denies the slapper!
52:02Can't connect but use LaValle on that play.
52:05Sneaks by the poke check.
52:08Slips it in front!
52:09Picked off in front.
52:11Tries to get it to Coronado.
52:14The Flames cross the line and gain the zone.
52:17Comes up with a stop.
52:19Feeds the puck to Barron.
52:22Offside the call.
52:23We're gonna face off coming up.
52:27Cartier's found his rhythm in this game and his shot mentality here.
52:31He takes this one and he just rips it off the post.
52:34That's a tough one. I thought he had it.
52:35The goaltender looked like the angle was off.
52:37But apparently not.
52:47The Flames lead in late in this third period.
52:56Colman's won the drop center.
52:59Some great thievery in the open ice.
53:02Feeds it over.
53:07Takes the shot.
53:08Oh, it looked like he had the corner,
53:10but he pulls it off the side of the net.
53:12There's so many moving parts in the game of hockey,
53:14which is why it's one of the most difficult sports in the world.
53:17And he gets to that prime-time scoring area.
53:20You don't get that too often,
53:21and he just sails it and misses the net.
53:24Directs it on over to Burroughs.
53:26Quick feed to Burroughs.
53:30And there he goes as the puck goes free.
53:36There's the horn, and that's the hockey game.
53:40Well, from a moral victory standpoint,
53:42they certainly were in this long run,
53:44one of the best efforts in the last few games,
53:46but don't get points for moral Ws.
53:49Yeah, you don't, James.
53:50And this is a really tough one to swallow for them.
53:52I mean, they played a great game right from the start,
53:54but found themselves getting into a deficit
53:56that they weren't able to crawl back from.
53:58So this is a real tough one.
53:59They have to find a way to reset,
54:01and it's feeling pretty heavy right now.
54:03Hope everyone had as much fun as we did here tonight.
54:06For all of us at EA Sports,
54:07I'm James Cebulski saying FOODS!
54:10and how's연, who's goals and yourself at EA Sports?
54:29So this is a real tough one.
54:30But he's probably bigger than Aufg Z entender.
54:31Well, he's definitely better at the right.
54:31And what is it that he's supposed to do today?
54:31Let's see.
54:32Let me go.
54:35Let's see.
54:36Let's see.
54:36Let's see.
54:37Let's see.
54:38Let's I see.
