The series will be headed back to Calgary, where hopefully more Flames will actually show up.
The Calgary Flames returned to the Vancouver Canucks' barn with the chance to close out the series. They got off to an excellent immediate start, and then decided to leave everything to a Swiss and a Swede. Let's see how that worked out. (Spoiler alert: it did not work out well.)
First period
The Flames got the party started right away. Not even three minutes in, Matt Stajan hit Alexander Edler, forcing a turnover from right within the Canucks' own blueline.
