Either you just walk the walk and keep your focus straight ahead and win, or wander off trying to fend off the phantom tough guys with big beaks and let them win.
Just replicate the entire Dallas series in terms of your play and there's no way Edmonton can beat you in a series.

I'm worried about how the Flames seem unable to dictate the style of play.
The Dallas-series was exactly the style Dallas preferred, and this series is turning into exactly what Oilers prefer.
It's good to be able to play multiple styles of hockey, but it's a lot harder to win a series if you always let the opponent pick the style.
