ANAHEIM – The Calgary Flames relish the underdog role. It’s almost like their fuel … doubt them and they’ll come out with a stronger performance to prove you wrong.
If that’s the case, losing Game 1 by the score of 6-1 to the Anaheim Ducks in their second round series was the perfect way to create seeds of uncertainty. But there’s an obvious fact heading into Game 2. If the Flames win, the series will be tied 1-1, and Calgary will be in decent shape heading home for Game 3.
“There’s a new level now to reach in the second round,” Flames general manager Brad Treliving said.
