This whole series has been very concerning. It's playing out very similarly to last year's embarrassment, except for the Flames being better on special teams. Being down 3 -2 is actually flattering and they deserve to be eliminated already.
At least last year in retrospect the Avs were on the cusp of becoming a really strong elite team. They were coming into the playoffs on an incredible hot streak and have shown this season they are a legit contender.
Fast forward to this year and the Flames are being absolutely demolished by the Stars. This despite the Stars being a fairly old team and having to play their backup most of the series. The same Stars who were on a serious cold streak dating back to March and the Round Robin.
I hope the Flames can turn it around to force and then win a game 7, but I just cant see it happening considering how much they have been dominated so far. I'm usually a glass half full type of person but I have to admit I am losing faith quickly.
