The game ended up 4-0 (one empty net) Flames won in every single category and had a 65% faceoff. Mackinnon was visibly frustrated the whole game.
Game 2 was much tighter as expected, but again Flames won in most categories including faceoffs again. Flames had tons of chances to win it even before OT (the end of the 3rd in particular). They couldn't capitalize and Mackinnon happened.
We all know how the series went after that and how the Flames collapsed while the Avs surged, but it's revisionist history to think that the Flames were not doing very well at first.
