Go back to that quick past transition game that had them on a roll in November. Speed, speed, speed.
Get the Ducks chasing and maybe they get worried and don't pinch as hard as a respect point to the speed.
I think its the only way they can win this series.
Oh and the Flames goaltender has to be better than Andersen

Exactly. Turn it into a track meet and hope you win the goaltending battle (simply have to in order to win)

They really are a complete team and its hard to see anyone beat them unless you have a goaltender stand on his head for 4 games in a series.
The Ducks are very impressive....unfortunately.

Yes, but in an end-to-end transitional game, the Flames are in it. The Ducks are good at that game too, but at least there's a chance.
In a battle along the boards, physical contest, it isn't a contest.
