I kind of think the back to back game thing is a little overrated. Flames looked fine last week in Edmonton on the back half and the Panthers looked better last night than they did the day before against the Flames. In the old days playoff series were played back to back with days off only for travel and it's only in recent decades where a big deal has been made of back to back games. Players are pretty well conditioned these days.
