Lots of negativity in this thread. Give credit to the Canucks. They played desperate hockey on their building and they played like the Flames did in Game 4. They didn't give the Flames lots of room and they kept them shooting outside instead of letting them banging on the rebound. It is not that easy to eliminate a team in their building. I can't believed some people are even suggesting to replace Hudler in the lineup after the lost. The guy played well in Game 3 & 4. Canucks was just looking for a lucky break to tie the game and when that happens, the momentum swung their way. I thought the Flames had some great chances but just missed the opportunities(hitting goal post or losing the puck on breakaway). I agree Flames should have given Ryan Miller more work tonight. Difference between the games they won and last game was Colborne, Bennett, Backlund and others were crashing the net a lot but last night I didn't much crashing. I see nothing wrong with the Flames last night they lost because the Canucks played with more intense and desperations... of course they got the lucky bounce. I am sure Game 6 will be much different. I am seeing more physical game. The only thing that will scare me is the referees dictating the game.
