Mentioned in other threads, but yes, you're right. 3 games were tied in the last 10 minutes of the third this series, and Flames lost all of them, 2 of those games having Flames legit goals pulled off the board.
For as inexplicably poor the Flames looked compared to what we were used to in the regular season this series, and then all the points the commentators were fawning over from 29 and 97, there is no reason to suggest, even if the Flames continued to play average again in a game 6 or 7, that the game would again be tight in the 3rd. Get a Flames bounce or two like the Oilers did in the 3 games they had won in the third and were onto round 3.
Never mind, as you mention, if the individuals and team get back to anything close to what we saw in regular season or vs Dallas, no question we have a great chance of winning the last two against an unstable team.
League stepped in and outright prevented that.
