from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,

Just when you thought it was over; just when you thought there were no miracles left for the Calgary Flames; just when you thought another officiating controversy possibly couldn’t go against them, just then, they did it again.

On a night when the Flames managed just nine shots in the first two periods and were back on their heels most of the night, they pulled another rabbit out the hat Tuesday night before a loud, loyal Scotiabank Saddledome crowd that it used to seeing wild, unexpected finishes.

Michael Backlund scored the first playoff goal of his NHL career 4:24 into overtime to give the Flames a stunning 4-3 come-from-behind victory over the visiting Anaheim Ducks, breathing new life into their best-of-seven Pacific Division final.

“There are no words anymore to describe this group,” said Flames’ coach Bob Hartley. “They never quit. They keep believing.

“Once again, it was a great show of character and a great show of grit.”
