Not buying it.
Flames came out strong and after going up by 1 I think they lost focus and were in 'second round mode'. Guys stopped being the first into the corner, lost their assignments etc.
Ice is bad? Shoot the puck more.
Calgary made too many soft marginal plays and passes, the same thing that killed them in Game 2. Without Hiller, the score could have easily matched game 2 as well.
They need a full 60 minutes and they need to shoot the goddamned puck.
