If you'd say before the series that the Flames had the Ducks within one goal or less well into the third, in each of the three games, you'd take it every time.

Problem is usually you need to win one or two of those tight games and the Flames haven't had the finish, bad puck luck, and dubious officiating, which makes the hill seem harder to climb for a team needing any break it can get.

Get past tomorrow, and the pressure is kinda off. Have zero pressure as no one expects you to win in ANA after 28 losses, in Game 5. Get Millions on the mic as he was the last commentator to call a Flames win in ANA (Don Whitman has now passed on, who did the game in the playoffs)and whatever other Seinfeld"opposite" superstitions required to get the curse over and done with.

Anaheim does not want to come back to Calgary for game 6 and they'd be on the back foot for sure.

Long way to go and no margin for error or bad luck or bad calls any more. But doable if they put together another good performance and then finish the off properly. Get some luck game 5 and come back here Sunday with the pressure on the Ducks.
