Score in the series reflects the reality of play. The Flames have been mostly outplayed. The top players have been nowhere near good enough. Sucks that the Oilers seem like they are just going to breeze through this series after it seemed like the Flames learned something about winning in the first round. These guys are mentally fragile and get off their game too easily.
