Besides both of those teams getting better goaltending than us so far this year, I think the East is just a different style of play. I know there's some bruisers, but for the most part its pretty wide open hockey out East; something this year's Flames are better suited for.
IMO we're built like an Eastern Conference team, which just doesn't work against a lot of the big, tight checking teams out West..especially this year, when you only play your own conference.
