Once again the Detroit Red Wings crashed the Calgary Flames in Detroit, this time 5:1. Regardless of the score, the Flames played much better than in the first and second quarterfinal game. They showed much more effort, but who cares the Calgary Flames lost and lost big.

There is no surprise that the Red Wings out shot the Flames 38-24. Miikka Kiprusoff made very good saves through traffic, however he could only stop 33 shots.

There were so many turnovers especially in the second period. The Flames allowed 2 short-handed goals. (more…)

Looks like the Flames are picking it up and are starting to play each game better and better. This game was a real pleasure to watch. It reminded me of the last playoff series with Detroit when the Red Wings were eliminated in game 6 in Calgary. I hope this series will end the same way.
