The Flames were eliminated from the 2019-20 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thursday night. Despite a strong 3-0 start to the game, Calgary surrendered 7 straight goals to the Stars, including 4 to Dennis Gurianov.

Cam Talbot gave up 3 goals on 8 shots before he was replaced with David Rittich in the second period, at 3-3. This ends up being a questionable decision, as Rittich gave up 4 goals including the winner

The autopsy of this game and playoffs as a whole will be harsh, and will most likely result in some significant changes this offseason.
