Of all the teams in the western conference the top three teams that I would not want the flames to face in the first round are St. Louis, Chicago, and Winnipeg... In that order. The flames struggle with those teams cause those are the only teams in the west whose speed matched up well against them. I consider San Jose, LA, and Vancouver to be slower teams that the flames could surprise in the first round. Haven't seen enough of the flames vs this year's version of the predators to know how that would match up. The ducks are also hard to read cause I don't think they are as good a team as their points/record indicates.
