If the Flames badly outplayed the Oilers and we got goalie’d, that’s one thing. But the Flames’ 50 win team were soundly outplayed by their provincial rival, even at 5 on 5 after being considered overwhelming favorites.

3 games in the series were 1 goal games in the last 10 minutes(or less) of the third.
Flames had two goals called back in those games in those last 10 minutes..a gtg and potential GWG.
So as poorly as the Flames looked more often than not, confused as to how they can score 2 or 3 easy goals but then have 2 or 3 score back, there were 3 close games. Game 6 would’ve been the same…if Oilers beat themselves or get a bad bounce as the Flames did, it would be Game 7 tonight with a confident Flames team and a crumbling Oilers team.
