Just play like you are capable and meant to do, and let the chips fall.
Its interesting that the Flames have out-hit the Avalanche all series. However, games 1 and 2 were quite close. In game 3, the Flames out-hit the Avalanche by a wide margin. Now, there is definitely an issue of correlation/causation in these stats. Did the Flames out-hit the Avalanche because the Avalanche had the puck all night? Or did the Avalanche have the puck all night because the Flames were focused on trying to hit rather than skate/pass/score? Difficult to say.
