Just happy to make the playoffs. If I had to choose though probably Edmonton. I think they will fade in the playoffs, Calgary will want revenge from the regular season, and who doesn't want to see a playoff BOA. I also would not say no to Anaheim as it would be great to knock Kesler out of the playoffs.

The teams I am really scared of would be Chicago and Minnesota because they are two of the elite teams and playing them means the Flames struggled down the stretch and just snuck into the playoffs. I would prefer if the Flames played one of them in the West final after they beat each other up in the 2nd round. I'm also a little weary of San Jose as they are close to being an elite team and shredded their chokers label last season.
