We lose at the 'Dome, then okay I agree with you, but until then you can reasonably anticipate this series being 2-2 after 4.

The Ducks are an extremely good hockey team, likley a Cup contender. On a more evenly matched series, I'd agree, but in this one I'd argue that a split at the Saddledome is much more "reasonably anticipated" than a Flames sweep, so therefore tonight is critical, imo.
