Flames aren't choking. Flames choked after Backlund and Frolik didn't put the game away in OT vs Colorado Game 2 and team didn't show up the next 3 games.

But, one game sudden death now opens up the possibility that some fluke, single slip, bad luck bounce off the glass, missed penalty or anything else that hasn't yet gone wrong for the Flames (or,not right) in the series, happening, inexpecibly finishes the season.This would be a travesty.
