I think the goaltending is pretty even, the defense (though different) is pretty even overall, and the forward depth is pretty even overall.
I think the series will swing on the PP. Five on five, the Flames are better. If they can stay out of the box (not have the refs bite on all the diving), and contain the Nucks PP, the Flames will win the series.
If they continue to stay out of the box like they have in the last 3 games, they could win it in 5.
If the Nucks get 5 PPs a game, and the PP gets on a roll, they take the series.
