For the rest of the rational fan base - this was a rough loss. You have two games with a late lead, blow both the leads, then lose both the overtime coinflips.

At worst, even with pessimistic expectations we should have won at least 1 of those games. If you do that 100 times we probably win 90 of them. This small sample absolutely bit us.

We will now very much likely lose the series (maybe at best a 15-20% chance we win) but that's why the games are played. Colorado has been the better team and our superior skill hasn't been able to answer their work ethic.

I’d agree with you if the Flames were carrying the play and not being dominated. However when the opponent is outplaying you in every facet of the game except the goalie position, eventually the pucks go in. Especially when there is such a huge possession advantage for the Avs. Flames were lucky to be up in those games. Eventually luck runs out and the top players, in this case the Avs top players, prevail.
