Flames coach Hartley on Calgary: 'This city right now is crazy red'
As the Calgary Flames move into the second round of the NHL playoffs and attempt to take down the juggernaut Anaheim Ducks, an excited fan base stands behind them.
The Flames are heavy underdogs against the Western Conference champion Ducks, but that hasn't stopped the city from going into absolute fandemonium which head coach Bob Hartley has witnessed firsthand, reports Kristen Odland of the Calgary Herald.
