The Flames can clinch the best-of-sevenseries in Vancouver Thursday. Calgary holdsa 3-1 lead in the series after winning the past two games at the Saddledome.

"The fourth [win]is definitely the hardest," said Flames rookieJosh Jooris, channelinghis elder teammate. "Their backs are against the wall now. It's a good position to be in, but I think we just got to take care of business, play a solid road game and hopefully get the job done."

The Flames' only loss in the series came in Game 2 in Vancouver. Thelessons from that gameare stillfront of mind for Jooris.

"I think we've just got to play simpler," Jooris mused. "I think we were a bit too cute in that Game 2, we've got to shoot more pucks and just try and get to their goalie. They came out with a good bounce back,...so we know what they play like in their home building. If we can match their intensity, I think we know what to expect now going into their building."
