The Flames almost walked out of the centre of the universe with four of a possible four points. I’m not sure if you know this (you may have missed it due to lack of media coverage) but the Toronto Maple Leafs are the top club in the NHL. The Flames, well more accurately David Rittich, almost swept them in the two game mini series. Alas, it was not to be.
There are two avenues of thought post game:
- Take the points from the best team in the league and run into a four game set with the Sens and downplay the fact you were out shot, out chanced, and out played for two games.
