Sometimes it works like that, but most of the time it does not. I think there was a bigger difference in last night's game than in Game #1 on the basis of score effects. The Flames looked like a good road team in this game, while in Game #1 the same cannot be said—the Canucks appeared to me in that game consistently overmatched. There was a fairly obvious skill-gap in that game which was accurately reflected in the underlying numbers. Last night was different.
