Totally disagree. Collapsing and blocking shots in the playoffs have both Anaheim and Edmonton trips to the finals. What may be Calgary's undoing (maybe) is their complete lack of physicality. They're going to get run into the ground at some point and if they have no push back, they're done.
Vancouver isn't the team to do that though, so flames in 5
