The problem for the Canucks, is not as much the first line as the question of if we press the Flames defense the fast forwards should be able to eat the Canucks slower blueline alive. But if they focus on checking Calgary's first line they give a lot of space to Calgary's defense.
Offensively the Flames are a lot more multi-dimensional then the Canucks.

Honestly I think whoever wins the match up vs Horvats line wins this series. I agree the Canucks D is overall slow, especially Bieksa who is god awful and can't believe he's still playing.
