Outplayed, but win. The two teams are complete opposites from their only dress rehearsal.
Calgary really needs a goalie to stand up.

Almost any Flames fan can surely attest that this team's issues over the last two seasons go far beyond needing a goalie to step up. This was a similar circumstance against the Avalanche, whilst receiving great goaltending from Smith, and look what happened.
Are Rittich/Talbot causing Monahan and Guadreau to go through repeated and prolonged stretches of invisibility? If those two show up as the best players on the Flames (as they should) the Flames probably win the Avalanche series and this series against the Jets.
You could rephrase your comment to: "Calgary really needs a goalie to stand up in order to fill the massive void on 2/3rds of the top line which seems to appear whenever the going gets tough."
