Gaskal · 04-07-2019, 10:50 PM

Narrative with the assistance of NHL 19 Playoff Mode Sim:

In true expected fashion of them, Calgary takes the first game decisively 4-1. Go up 2-0 after 1 (with Elias Lindholm scoring the opening goal just like in the home opener, bless his Swedish heart), let 1 in on an odd man rush after a flub in the 2nd, then score an insurance marker in the 3rd and another into the EN to seal it.

The second game ends up being way tighter, looking to head to overtime with no score as the Flames pepper Grubauer with shots all night. But in a truly dramatic fashion, the first line gets sent out after a bad Avs icing with under a minute to go in the 3rd and Elias "I'm a mother####ing stud" Lindholm scores with 21 seconds left on the clock to win the game and to give Smitty the SO and the Flames a 2-0 series lead.

The third game starts badly with the Avalanche getting an early goal. Then it becomes all tight checking and neither team seems to be able to get anything going past the neutral zone. Grubauer is the deciding factor in this one as the game lasts this way despite some grade A chances all night, with the Avs taking it by 2-0 after scoring into the EN. Several thousand voodoo dolls of Grubauer are made and stabbed violently over the next 48 hours.

Voodoo dolls and black magic seems to have worked for the fourth game, with the Flames going up 2-1 early after the 1st period and end up playing a tight disciplined game close it out 3-1, after holding the Avs to just 4 shots in the 2nd and weathering the storm in the 3rd to send the Flames back to Calgary with a chance to close out the series at home.

You'd think our guys have saved our finest games and efforts for a game like this. A chance to win the series at home. Pretty hype, right? Well apparently the boys don't think so as nobody outside of Smith seems to have showed up to the Dome that evening, somehow putting together the worst playoff game collectively played by a Flames team since that 3-0 Game 7 loss against Anaheim just over a decade back. Tonight the Flames fare similarly, getting shut out 2-0 and sending the series back to Denver with the C of Red in full panic mode.

The Flames collectively show up and play Game 6 in Denver in the way we were all hoping them to play Game 5. They shoot out to an early lead and lead 2-1 after the 1st, Smith holding the fort against the MacKinnon line and the Flames scoring some insurance and ENs to win the game 5-1. Entire fanbase asks "well, where the #### was this team two nights ago?".

Grumpiest the fanbase has ever been over a series win. But Flames in 6.
