You're not winning the Stanley Cup if you play like this.
Game 1 was a statement.
Game 2 started as a statement and then the team collapsed. No excuses from one of the best defensive hockey teams and top goalies.
Now, instead of it being 2-0 going into Edmonton, it's 1-1.
Game 3 changed it all, and I was in attendance. The Flames couldn't get anything going and the Oilers completely turned the series around.
But, if the Flames won game 2, and gave up both in Edmonton, you're coming home 2-2 with home ice and it's not that big of a deal.
The game 2 collapse took all the wind out of the Flames' sails and changed the momentum in the series. The Flames were chasing from that point on.
The no goal call was complete BS, and the Flames should be going into game 6 right now, but they would've had to turn everything around to deserve to come out of this series.
