Beating the Oilers in the first round essentially takes all the lustre out of their resurgent season and revokes their right to gloat to anyone south of Edmonton city limits.

They should be pretty scared of that matchup just for that possibility, if say the Flames' team depth and structure game proves to be better than having Talbot and McDavid when the games really matter.

At least if they land Anaheim and lose in a hard fought series, they can still look back fondly on the season for the most part and call it a 'step'. Nothing give Oilers fans more nightmares or pee in their cereal than being stuck in the Flames' shadow.
