I think the Flames are going to have to out-score Anaheim this series; trying to grind out 2-1 wins is going to be difficult because of how strong and deep the Ducks are. That means the top line is going to have to stay hot, and out-score the Getzlaf line. It will also mean the Backlund line will need to match the Kesler line in terms of production (or at least be relatively close).
Hiller played extremely well in Round 1 and I'm glad he got the start tonight.
It will be a much different task facing the Ducks (compared to the Canucks) but I think the Flames are up for the challenge. GFG!
