The Flames didn't play like a team who were scared to take chances. The way Gaudreau talked after suggests they were too cocky and figured it was going to be easy after the first game.

Yep. This is why the Flames offense always died when McElhinney was in net, but they didn't have issues scoring when Kiprsuoff was in. I remember some fans felt sorry for McElhinney because the team in front of him couldn't score, but they always played differently when he was in net.
