NHL Playoffs Betting: Flames’ Next Challenge in Anaheim

If there is one thing that could be said about the Calgary Flames’ season it would be that they have had to answer challenges all year long. They beat the Vancouver Canucks in the first round and move into the Western Conference Second Round tonight against the number one ranked Anaheim Ducks.

The Ducks have home-ice advantage, which has proven to be a huge edge for them so far. The Flames have lost 20 straight games at Honda Center but they are a different team in these playoffs and are ready to answer the new challenge set in front of them.

Anaheim Coach Bruce Boudreau knows that the Flames are ready to burn up the ice, "They're a team that never quits," he was quoted in saying on Sunday night. "The minute you think you've got them they apply an awful lot of pressure … we know their capabilities and we know the fact they never quit. It's going to be a 60-minute game on both sides."

The Ducks swept the Winnipeg Jets in the first round and look like they could end the Flames’ Stanley Cup dreams after round two. The Ducks top line has been producing goals and shutting down their opponent’s offense throughout the playoffs. Corey Perry, their star Left Wing led the Ducks in points with seven including three goals in Round 1. Center Ryan Getzlaf is in second with four points but the entire team has been incredible.
