The Calgary Flames got a rude awakening in Game 1 of their second-round match-up with the Anaheim Ducks, enduring a sixty minute beatdown that resulted in a 6-1 victory for their Californian opponents.
After cruising past the Vancouver Canucks in a hard-fought six-game series, Calgary found themselves considerably outmatched when face to face with a true championship-calibre team.
