sorry i meant in the first round 2 years ago.
game 1: jets up 2-1 going into 3rd: LOSE
game2: jets up 1-0 going into 3rd, give up game winner with 20s left to: LOSE
game 3: jets up 4-3 going into 3rd, give up game tying goal with under 5 mins: LOSE
game 4: tied after 1st, but only game where they basically don't go into the last period winning.: LOSE
The ducks core (much of which is still in tact) just don't seem to get phased by teams they have a mental edge on. The flames have yet to score in the 3rd period in the series, so if the game is close, regardless of who's got the lead, the ducks seemingly have the edge on which team will find it within themselves to carve out a victory.
i'll be watching the game, and regardless of my frustration will be cheering/hoping for a win, i just don't think i have seen enough from this team this season or this playoffs to believe they can figure out a way to win.
This team was highly average and mediocre outside of 2 hot streaks in the season when their goaltenders seemingly caught fire. Without that happening here, i don't think the flames ever had much chance to make any real noise this playoffs, let alone winning a frigin game.
