ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Calgary Flames were the lesser team in their second-round playoff tilt against the Anaheim Ducks. They were younger, less experienced, less prolific … oh and their advanced stats weren’t great – which is always the case it seems.
But were they a fluke, or are they a team with staying power? Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau seemed to think the latter.
“You give that big line a chance and they put it in, and (Johnny) Gaudreau scares you every time he touches the puck,” Boudreau said. “I think they’re a team that in the future when those guys get a little bit more experienced (depending on) what they do in the offseason as a team … is going to be very good next year.
