If any Flames team can do this over the past two decades given the regular season, this team can.
Put game 5 away Friday, rise again in Denver Sunday, and Flames will be rolling by then for Tuesday. Why not?

But what this is saying is "if they don't collapse in the critical moment twice, they're up 3-1". They did it because it's the makeup of too many of these players allowing it to happen.
Playoffs is about performing under pressure in those critical moments, it's not just a coin flip, it's failure at the epitome of what the playoffs are about.
They haven't shown that they can win three periods in a row, let alone three games.
