That team was so awful it was hard not to think they had quit on the coach. Those first two games in Detroit I do not think I have ever seen a team dominated in such a way. The sixth game at the Dome I think the players as well as some of the fans were just hoping the Mule would score sooner as nobody on the Flames was doing anything except Kipper. The Flames probably had 30 scoring chances (max) total in that series and maybe 6 total even strength. That was a tour de force of a series, NHL V. AHL with the AHL team having a great goalie and good special teams to even given them a chance.
