one word for the series so far: depressing.
but I still think it's all but a guarantee the Flames squeak a win out at home (if not 2). it was night and day between games in vancouver vs at home too. we are undefeated in the dome so far and the offence has been stellar at the dome in every game too. the Ducks will not dominate us on our own ice. not with the motivation from fans and the last change advantage. the team will reap all the benefits of being at home.
I'm fine with the Flames saving the curse breaker for game 5 or 7. my excitement level for games one and two was actually quite low, because I didn't expect the Flames to come in cold against a rested Anaheim team and steal any victories tbqh (just had a hunch). the next two are way more important and will be the Flames' rallying point if they are to have a chance at overcoming the Ducks.
expected more than one goal over the first two, but its hard for me to disappointed in what has happened so far given the circumstances. they are in unknown waters at this point and are giving it what they can from the experience they have. I do expect much better this week, and will be watching far more eagerly.
I have also been told I have an uncanny ability to predict things. so trust in my analysis. we will strike back!
