It would be super easy for me to come here and to throw water based on the above mentioned injuries, but, there's also a lot to be said about how the Flames responded in the last 2 games from a really bad game 2. Tkachuk, as much as I hate him and players like him, is a pain in the ass other teams will have to deal with, and he plays with high intensity and has a lot of skill that pests normally don't have. You can only beat the teams put in front of you and the Flames did that.
