Beyond the Boxscore: Calgary Flames pushed to the brink of elimination after just 4 games

Not even the Edmonton Oilers letting an 150 yard chip shot in was able to help the Calgary Flames achieve victory as they fall down in the series forcing themselves into a massive corner. Was the game overall tipped in their favour in terms of possession and chances? Yes. Does that matter now that the Oilers won? Absolutely not. Playing better and losing is only a decent consolation prize for the regular season. Having it happen in the second round of the playoffs just plain stinks. That one was within the Flames reach and they failed to box out the front of the net when they needed to most.
