Flames vs. Ducks [Stanley Cup Conference Semifinals Game #4 Thread]

The Flames look to continue their improbable run this season. They’re down two games to one as the fourth game in this best of seven series starts against the Anaheim Ducks. They may have some reinforcements added into the lineup as well.

The Flames were looking anything but well prior to game three, but the momentum shifted behind the crowd at the Scociabank Saddledome. The team known for its luck outpossessed, outchanced, and outscored the Ducks bringing them to their current two to one deficit. They will look to keep that momentum tonight and knot this sucker up.

Lance Bouma played on line three during practice earlier today and may participate in tonight’s game. Micheal Ferland is a game time decision, but did not participate in practice. Karri Ramo played well enough to earn the start again. He’ll be up against Frederik Andersen who has done quite well this series.
