It's only one game. Flames were actually doing well until the first two goals which was a bad turnover. Actually before those two goals Gaudreau gave up the puck on the soft pass that almost cost them a goal. After those two mistakes they abandoned the Flames hockey because they started overthinking and panicked which was unheard of for the Flames. They just couldn't recover from those mistakes and instead of fixing it, they made more and let the Ducks dictate the game. Anaheim got away with a lot of picks and cheating a lot on faceoff. One particular faceoff cheat that stuck to my mind was Getzlaf hitting Jooris leg and stick before the linesman once the linesman let go of the puck. Of course Getzlaf won the faceoff.
I think the Flames are going to be more prepared on Game 2.
