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.

Dallas series was Calgary's style thwarted by Oettinger and good net front protection.
This series so far has been Flames hockey (at least to start) but without the defensive checking required by all 5 skaters that spiraled out of control from lack of discipline as the games wore on.
Edit: Better put, it was 40 minutes of Flames hockey in the first game resulting in a win, and 20 minutes last night resulting in a loss.
