CALGARY, Alberta -- The Calgary Flames never blinked after falling into a quick 3-0 hole - and the Sea of Red never stopped cheering.
"What about the crowd?" Flames coach Bob Hartley said. "The crowd never left us. We were down 3-zip and we felt their support. What a great story."
Indeed.
Matt Stajan broke a tie with 4:17 left and Calgary beat the Vancouver Canucks 7-4 on Saturday night to win the Western Conference playoff series 4-2.
"Things happen so quickly out there and even when I go home, I'll probably blink my eyes and still have to pinch myself to realize what happened," Stajan said.
