The colour orange rained down over all of Alberta, and therefore Calgary, on the night of Game 3. With polls closing half an hour after puck drop, Alberta created history, as the Calgary Flames nearly relived their own.
Only one orange team won, and despite attempts to call it a "sea of orange" in Anaheim, it was not the Ducks.
First period
The Flames came out as if they were literally on fire, and it showed. (Remember, fire is good in this situation.) It took just over two minutes for Mason Raymond to centre the puck for Brandon Bollig and Bollig, streaking up the middle, tapped it in immediately to give Calgary a very quick 1-0 lead.
