Flames scored 20 goals in 5 games against the Oilers. It's unacceptable that they would have lost in 5 IMO. Plenty of blame to go around. Goaltending was not good enough, too many defensive breakdowns, and the forwards not able to score clutch goals at crucial times like the Oilers did. What a piss off of a series, went from the crappy "we want 10" chants 10 minutes into game 1 to losing 4 straight the following games afterwards.
This series was totally winnable, and the Flames blew it.
