The Calgary Flames were fighting for their very playoff lives against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 4 at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Unfortunately, their start in no way reflected that. The Flames spotted the Ducks two early goals amidst some extremely shaky play from everyone from their goaltenders on out. They got their act together after that, but it just wasn’t enough to draw even.
The Flames were officially eliminated from the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs in four games by the Ducks, with the final nail in their coffin coming by way of a 3-1 home loss.
THE RUNDOWN
The locals began the first period looking rather tight and jumpy, like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
