Ducks are just a team that doesn't get rattled and when they eventually do battle they will usually win.
Flames just don't have the mental fortitude to win against this ducks team when it matters.

I'm pretty sure the Jets got shutout in a couple of those games and couldn't produce against the Ducks, despite good play.
Flames have scored goals and had leads in these games.
Agreed about the fortitude part though. And even if the skaters find it, Brian Elliott has to also. And I just can't bank on both holding up their ends. But if they can push back and take 2 games, including one in Anaheim, then there will be a lot of moral victories and team progression to take away from this and currently that's what I feel is a realistic goal given how well they are playing them. Cannot think of anything beyond wednesday though. Win one, then carry it forward and build on it.
