This series has been gut-wrenching, but I suppose that’s what the NHL playoffs are about. Now we have a Game 7 in a series in which the Flames were strong consensus favourites.
Lots of talk here tonight - and consistently around this franchise - about the ghosts of past playoff failures. Rightly so.
However, there are reasons for hope and optimism:
- home ice advantage & the C of Red
- Markstrom is better than Oetinger
- Johnny is the best forward in this series
- we are overdue for an offensive breakout. Sooooo overdue.
- we have been the superior team according to all the underlying metrics
Let’s hope the Flames can flip the script on the ghosts of playoffs past, and do something remarkable on Sunday.
