IIRC the answer is somewhere in the middle. Most people thought we could beat the Canucks, maybe that was just rivalry bravado but it seemed like we could knock of the Canucks. Flames had world class goaltending and the Canucks had Dan Cloutier.
Once we got by them the term "everything else is gravy" was the most popular phrase on Calgarypuck.
