Really nice matchup for the Flames.

canucks under Desjardins are too aggressive sending four men on the attack, coupled with the Flames counter-attacking style and ability to convert odd-man rushes.

Flames will need to get contributions though beyond the first line though. As hot as they've been, you need unlikely contributions from the bottom of the lineup to get it done in the playoffs. Also not a huge fan of Hiller in this series but have a sneaking suspicion it'll be Ortio that closes it out.

Also, a huge advantage to start this series on the road. Much easier to get the split than needing to win two right off the bat.

Flames in six.
