I really feel like the Canucks are the 2009 Flames. An aging core with no playoff success since losing in game 7 of the finals. They don't have the injuries like that team had but the Canucks best players are all 30+ and very little in young talent.

I feel like the Flames are similar to the Hawks in 2009. 2 young budding superstar forwards, solid vets, good defense and nothing to lose.

I just feel the Flames speed is going to be too much for Vancouver to handle. Both teams can roll 4 lines and I don't buy the Canucks have really any more scoring depth than the Flames.
