It was coaching genius that Hartley was able to change the mood of the games after game 1.
There was no way that the Flames could compete with Anaheim on a physical level like they did with Vancouver.
After the 1st 4 periods the Flames were all about skating away from big hits. They did not punish any Duck D-man and concentrated on puck support and moving the puck out so that Russell/Brodie and Wideman could get through this series intact.
Even in Game 4 where the Ducks were the most worried and want to come out and crush the Flames they were unable to engage in the big hitting game as the Flames stayed away from it.
