I feel strangely confident in this series. I like the Flames matchup with speed, but they have to find a way to break the Canucks cycle game.

While the Flames first line was more productive, where this series turns is offense from the blueline, and I don't think its even a question of close in terms of which blueline can be a bigger factor in terms of adding offense.

If the slower canucks can't keep up to the Flames transition it could be a long exhausting series for them.

If the Flames can keep their discipline and keep the Canucks power play on the bench the Flames will win.
