First Period:
Kesler laser hits the post right away:
Ryan Kesler appeared to have scored. Wait for the whistle.

It didn't stop the Ducks though:
The inevitable happened. Ducks lead 1-0. Matt Beleskey converts on a 2 on 1.

Wingstop could go for months with the amount of sauce Kesler poured on that pass to Beleskey.
— Kyle Nicolas (@ACKyleNicolas) May 4, 2015
How about Jakob Silfverberg's play in the postseason? Strong two-way player who has stepped up offensively -- now has 7 points in 6 games.
— Kyle Shohara (@kyleshohara) May 4, 2015
The Ducks threw everything on net for a 20-9 shot advantage after one.

Karri Ramo robs Clayton Stoner. And those are words I thought I'd never type in my lifetime.
— Elliott Teaford (@ElliottTeaford) May 4, 2015
I think 20 shots in one period is good.

Hampus was the bad guy after a bump on Hudler ...
Hampus Lindholm clips Jiri Hudler. Ducks go shorthanded. Boy. The replay indicates that wasn't all that hard of a hit.
— Elliott Teaford (@ElliottTeaford) May 4, 2015
Big Bad Hampus Lindholm.

Hampus Lindholm is a handful.

Andersen was solid and the Ducks escaped the second.
Ducks are pissing me off! Get your heads out of your asses and play some fucking hockey!!! Hit someone!
— Courtney (@MissCourt_02) May 4, 2015
Third Period:
The broadcast is crediting it all to the Flames, and specifically to Wolf, who has had zero actual impact on the game.
— Kid Ish (@kid_ish) May 4, 2015
Hampus widened the lead with a top-corner snipe ...

So many people that were kings fans are cheering for the ducks and I'm kind of upset. Like no,you didn't cry ducks tears when they lost.
