Default Flames vs Ducks Game Four - For believers only

Reasons the flames will win four straight:

1) This season's flames team has shown up only when things get extremely dire. And then they battle back to achieve their goal. Like that time they won 10 straight to make the playoffs. This time isnt any different.

2) The team has won 10 in a row this season...so winning four in a row isn't really much of a stretch.

3) Winning streaks begin after a team has begun playing well. After a pretty poor ending to the season, the flames have outplayed the ducks through three games. So a winning streak is just around the corner.

4) Meanwhile, the ducks are on a pretty amazing winning streak to end the season and start the playoffs. Winning streaks usually end after a team has been playing poorly for a stretch, but still getting lucky. The ducks have gotten a lot of lucky bounces and a lot of lucky calls these past three games. But after the streak finally ends, comes the hangover...so hangover for the ducks is just around the corner.

5) The whole idea of being a fan of a pro-sports team is pretty silly. Significantly more silly than the notion of winning 4 straight (which isnt really all that silly). So if you're going to be a fan, you might as well believe. Really believe and just live in the moment. Believe when no-one else does. Because as the flames drive to win four it row, it will make the journey all the more special if youre on the wagon from game 1.

6) When the GDT starts a midnight we lose in regulation. When the GDT starts at 11pm we lose in ot. When the GDT starts at 10pm we win.

The come back begins tonight. Go Flames Go.

I am just hoping that the Buffalo Wild Wings bartender won't watch Game 4.

The Flames will win tonight.

I have no idea why, but the Flames always win when I wear my David Jones jersey in the playoffs. I had lost it before today, but ohhh #### I just found it!

Predicting a 5-4 Flames win tonight as a result (even though it's a #19 jersey but who cares)

Just #### em up, Flames. I believe in you so much.

I would just like one more crack at the Honda center before the year is done. Even if we go out in 5 like last time, that would be fine.

Eye test says Flames have been better than Anaheim. I say this goes at least 5.

Sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak. And when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.

But you gotta search within you and gotta find that inner strength, and just pull that #### out of you...

And get that motivation to not give up, and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face!

I believe, a game at a time then who knows. Win 2 straight it gets interesting, win 3 and holy ####. It's not impossible, gotta exercise these Anaheim demons at some point. Play the rookie #releasetheGil
