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.

Whether you call it a choke or not doesn't matter. If they lose, again, in the first round after going up 3-2 that's giving away the series. They'll be thought of as a team that can't get it done when it's needed. And that will be true.
And, whether we want to think it or not, winning or losing will dictate what this team looks like next year.
Good news is this can all be remedied by a win on Sunday. Game 7 will be franchise defining.
