They Advanced: How The Heck Did That Happen?

In a season that keeps getting more and more interesting - and has remained pretty interesting to watch and write about - the Calgary Flames have advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs by virtue of their conquering of the Vancouver Canucks.

They capped off their six-game victory with a whirlwind 7-4 win over the Canucks on Saturday night.

In a season where many pundits, observers and even a fair number of fans expected the Flames to be "Connor McDavid Bad," they've advanced further into the post-season then they have in over a decade.
