I disagree.
They might not fold, but Winnipeg dominated large stretches of their series because of the physical play against the Anaheim D.
Anaheim forwards are bigger and tougher though, so the Flames won't be able to run them around like they could the Vancouver forwards.
But I absolutely think if they play physical with a strong forecheck that the Anaheim D will make mistakes.
