It looks like the Flames nerves got to them, as it didn’t take long for Danny Gare to open the scoring. Montreal added two more goals and led 3-0 before the Flames realized where they were. Rick Middleton got one goal back, and it seemed to settle Calgary down. Tom Laidlaw got a goal near the end of the first, and what looked like a disaster, was now just a 3-2 Habs lead after one. Wilf Paiement and Al MacAdam exchanged goals in the 2nd, while Paul MacLean and Rick Middleton did the same in the third. Calgary couldn’t get any close then that one goal deficit, but did show fight. 5-4 Montreal wins game one. Montreal starts well again, leading 2-0 after the first. Despite being outplayed, the Flames respond in period 2. Rick Middleton scores twice, and Steve Shutt adds another. Sprinkled in there were goals from Steve Bozek and Paul MacLean though, making it 4-3 Montreal, but Calgary is in this thing. In the third, Rick Middleton completes his hat trick to tie it up, and force overtime. 4 minutes in, Mike Krushelnyski scores for Calgary. The Flames are outshot 44-19, but steal this game from Montreal, 5-4!

Krushelnyski scores the game two OT winner!

Montreal grabs another 2-0 lead in the first period of game 3, but Bernie Johnson gives the Flames a goal, cutting the lead to 1 after a period. In the 2nd, Montreal strikes twice again. Wilf Paiement gets his 10th, and Willi Plet has his third. With a 3 goal deficit, the Flames fight back. Rick Lanz, Duane Sutter and Bobby Smith all score in the third, but Montreal gets a goal in there from Dave Babych. Too little, too late for Calgary. 5-4 Montreal. The goal scoring continues into game four. Montreal outscores the Flames 2-1 in each of the first two periods, making it 4-2 heading into the third. Rick Middleton and Bryan Trottier score 30 seconds apart to tie in early in the frame. Ryan Walter then gets 2 straight goals and Paul Maclean adds another, giving Montreal an insurmountable lead. 7-5 Montreal wins.

Maclean has 4 goals in the finals so far!

Facing elimination in game five, the Flames are much more defensive minded for game five, and it worked. After falling down 1-0, Bobby Smith and Rick Middleton give Calgary a 2nd period lead. Don Lever would tie it, but the Flames Steve Shutt nets the winner halfway through the third. Calgary stays alive with a 3-2 win. With some momentum, it’s all Calgary early in game six. They lead 2-0 after a period, and 4-1 after two. Calgary outshoots Montreal 41-21, controlling the whole game. 5-1 Flames win. We go 7!

GAME 7

The Flames turned to goalie Gilles Gilbert in net two games ago. With 2 wins under his belt, he starts game 7.

Rick Middleton scores his 931st goal of the playoffs to open the scoring. Ok, it’s only his 19th, but it seems like 900! Flames lead early. Brian Sutter scores a few minutes later to make it 2-0 after a period.

Middleton keeps scoring!

Sutter gets his 2nd of the game, on a pass from Middleton to make it 3-0 after two. Can the Flames hold this lead? Montreal applies some pressure, and get a goal from Dave Barr. Willi Plett then makes it 3-2 with just under 9 minutes to play. Nail biting time!! The Flames take a late penalty. On the PP, Don Lever gets a shot over a sprawling Gilbert, and into the back of the net!! Montreal ties it with 2 minutes remaining! Looks like we are gonna have overtime…..WOW, with just seconds remaining, Bryan Trottier dumps the puck in. Brian Sutter goes into the corner, kicks it free to Rick Middleton, who wraps around the far post, AND FINDS THE NET!!! HE SCORES!!! 4 SECONDS LEFT!!! The FLAMES WIN THE STANLEY CUP!!

Game 7 third period summary!
