They did.
Scoring chances were 39-19.
High Danger was 19-7.
But Flames let the Oilers stars build confidence in the comeback and it carried through the series. Flames also adjusted to try to stop the oilers stars and all it did was take them off their own game.
Of course the difference here is the Flames didn’t have a Mackinnon or a Makar.
But unless the Avs get better goaltending it might not matter. We all like to make fun of Mike Smith, but his career .927 save percentage in the playoffs is great and he’s proven he can bounce back from poor efforts.
