The Kings just didn't have it, they were clearly out of gas... but give Calgary credit they boxed them out pretty good and Hiller was there to shut the door.
Can't even express how proud I am of this team. What an effort all season. No matter what happens they've done all true Flames fans proud. Go Flames Go!

For those who says the Flames will be going after the McDavid lottery, they are too small, they don't have any offense and all negative stuff at the beginning and during the season... Suck it!!
Super stoked before and after the game. This is probably one of the best overall game Flames played this season. The 1st line was flying especially that midget Gaudreau and Hudler. Rookie Michael Ferland played a heck of a game tonight too and Stajan been good also. I thought Raymond had a great time too even though it didn't show on stats. The whole team answered the challenge in facing the defending champion. We barely saw the crash and bang LA Kings' players tonight because the Flames didn't allow them. It is no coincidence that they stayed away from the sin bin tonight. They were skating all night from 1st line to 4th line, 1st D pairing to 3rd D pairing. They definitely deserved the win tonight. I am loving this team and I would guess Gaudreau will win teh Calder and Bob Hartley Coach of the Year.
Calgary can still get the home ice advantage vesrus the Canucks if they beat Winnipeg and Canucks losing their last game because they won the season series. I just love it!!

Nice to hear that from Darryl. Always enjoyed watching the Kings in the playoffs the last few years.

Can't say I've ever seen the #Flames room quite like that. Electric might be the only word to describe it.
