Flames at Ducks [Stanley Cup Conference Semifinals Game #2 Thread]

Game one of this series was an unmitigated disaster for the Flames. They’ll get back at it tonight against the Ducks ast they try to knot this series up at two games a piece. They’ll have to play considerably better if they hope to get the victory tonight.

The performance in game one was so poor that they’ve made a switch at goalie. Jonas Hiller will back up Karri Ramo after not exactly performing well, though Ramo wasn’t exactly stellar himself. Michael Ferland is in, but the lines are pretty much anybody’s guess at this point. Raphael Diaz will have to wait to make his triumphant return.

The Ducks didn't have much of a reason to mess with their success and it looks like they'll keep their lines the same. Frederik Anderson will once again start. The defensive pairings will remain the same as well.

Update 8:06 PM MST!

Ferland is actually out and David Wolf is in. Gaudreau is playing, but he'll be on line two and Sam Bennett will be on line one. How fun!
