I agree only about St. Louis, who absolutely gives the Flames fits. But they have proven this season that they can stand toe-to-toe with virtually every other team in the WC. I am sceptical that the Flames could beat LA or Anaheim, but I believe they could take each of them to seven games—same with Chicago. They would really be in tough against St. Louis, but every one of Vancouver, Minnesota, Winnipeg, and Nashville I think the Flames could beat. I would expect them to beat Vancouver and Winnipeg.
