Unfortunately, they have still been very dominant over the Flames so I'm probably going to just listen to this one at work. I've got a bad feeling it'll be a choppy terrible game with the ducks winning 4-0.
That said, I'm still very optimistic and think the Flames are playoff bound and can make noise. We will begin to dominate the Anaheim battle within 2 years.
GFG! I won't give up hope, though!

I disagree. I think they are well placed to retool. Yes, their top 3 forwards are soon going to hitting their peak and dipping down, but they have a strong young core to quickly rebuild around. Gibson, Vatanen, Rakell, Fowler, Lindholm, Silfverberg plus some prospects like Theodore, Ritchie etc.
Can't say I'm that well versed, but I'd say they are pretty good at drafting, given some of the names they've drafted over the last few years. That should stand them in good stead for when Kesler, Perry and Getzlaf do start winding down.
