I am sure someone in the Oilers dressing room has made the analogy that "if we beat the Ducks when they were in their prime and on the cusp of winning the Cup, we can beat them now when many of the Ducks glory years are in their past."
The Flames play tentative against the Ducks, they play scared, and they get off their game plan in a hurry. Sure we got bad goal keeping but I think part is psychological too as well as not getting great leadership from GG.
And some of you should keep in mind that there is a person behind your computer screen. It is possible to disagree with a poster without mocking them or acting like internet bullies.

You realize the Ducks were the 6 seed in 2006 and far from a powerhouse. They acquired Probger that summer that put them over the top to Cup Champ in 07. Your theory there is pretty bunk
