On Friday night, the Calgary Flames have an opportunity to do something they’ve only done four times since they won the Stanley Cup in 1989. They can win a playoff round.
Game 6 against the Dallas Stars is the 18th attempt the Flames will have to win the fourth and deciding game of a series. Historically, these games haven’t gone amazingly well for the club.
Brad Treliving era (1-1)
Since Brad Treliving became general manager in 2014, the Flames have been in a position to advance in a series once. They were successful, but they required two kicks at the can, going 1-1 in potential elimination games.
