The Oilers have had their share of losing streaks with this core and even in the past year. The Flames had spurts where they stumbled to bounce back stronger and better. The Oilers have shown to be immature in the fact they have gotten away from what makes them successful when they are riding high.
The Flames need to do to Smith what the Oilers have done to Markstrom and it is very doable. Just 1 game at a time. We need 3 wins and we can have 2 of the games at home. This team needs to be about changing the narrative of the organization. Coming back from 1-0 and 2-1 in game 7 when the opposition goalie was lights out shows their ability to dig deep.
Sutter needs to challenge his players to be their best and they need to believe in each other. Beat a flawed team 3 times. They can do it
