Flames’ Playoff Hopes Dim After Stunning Loss to Ducks

Vanished in eight seconds.

This may be the epitaph for the Calgary Flames` playoff aspirations, written in Anaheim, of all places.

An epic collapse against the Ducks late Wednesday night has likely crushed Calgary’s hopes of overtaking Minnesota for the final wild-card spot.

Just hours after the Wild secured an overtime victory, extending their lead over the Flames to six points, Calgary experienced a devastating “Flame-out” themselves.

After a month marked by Calgary`s late-game comebacks, the Ducks turned the tables on a desperate visiting team. The Flames appeared to have victory within reach, leading 3-1 with less than five minutes remaining, thanks to two late goals.
