He is not, though. If anything this notion that Calgary was “hugely outplayed” from wire-to-wire, or that they “fluked” their way to anything in that series stems from being too focused on small portions.
The Flames were outplayed in two games: Games 3 and 5.
They dominated periods 2 and 3 of Game 1 and fully deserved the win. It looked like they were well on their way after that.
Game 2 was very tight, and very evenly played. Colorado had a 2 min stretch of offensive zone time that allowed them to tie it late, but up to then it was close. Calgary dominated OT, but Colorado won on a single, unfortunate break that gave MacKinnon a clear line to the goal.
Game 4 was very tight, and Calgary played a textbook road game. It took a 7 min stretch late in the third when everything fell apart.
AC is right. The series was closer in many respects than the outcome, and two terrible games by the Flames have miscoloured views of the entire thing.
