Honestly?
At this point, I fear NO first round opponent.
Taking into account their recent play, and the fact that they play every other night (starting this Thursday against the Habs), I think they'll be readily conditioned for playoff hockey.
So long as the Flames continue to stick to their overall game-plan, continue to receive the goaltending they've been getting, and continue playing for each other (as they currently are), they match up well against anybody.
(Bring on the Oilers. Revenge is a dish best served playoffs.)
