Maybe I have just overestimated how good the flames are. They haven't been able to play their game, their style and what made them successful, much this series.
Sunday is basically a coin flip, that I think favours Dallas (less pressure as the underdog). This feels like the flames teams after the cup in 89. Where you had so much hope going into the playoffs only to see them get tripped up every first round.

How has Dallas dictated the flow of the game?
Flames have 58.6% Corsi (435-307).
Flames have 56.8% Shots (220-167)
Flames have 56.6% High Danger Shots (83-61)
Flames have 56.2% expected goals for (22-17)
Those are all second in the playoffs only to Colorado, the Flames have dominated I pretty much every way outside of shooting percentage.
Flames have shot 5.45% which is last of all playoff teams.
The only thing Dallas has dictated is Oettinger playing great while also having a bunch of luck this series.
Last night Dallas did dictate play for the first time in the series, but that’s to be expected when you are facing elimination. That’s a tough team that wasn’t going to roll over.
