Agreed. They looked a little nervous during the 1st period of game 1, but they flipped a switch in the 2nd and 3rd, and played much more like the dominant team that clinched the west. The Avs had no answer for Calgary's depth in that game, as the Flames just rolled 4 lines and came at them in waves.
Tonight they simply weren't ready to match Colorado's desperation. Maybe they got a bit too smug with themselves after the win on Thursday. Who knows? Bottom line is they know they have to be better, and they've proven all year that they can storm right back after a lackluster game. I fully expect them to come out flying in game 3.
