GG has them playing a time tested safe formula with enough modern tweaks that they're exploiting some form of league groupthink. I think if the Flames lose in a 7 game war in the Conference Finals my wildest 2017 expectations would be satisfied and would reinforce my intuition that the best is still yet to come.

I agree, I see this team in the second round, San jose will be tough, if we get past them, I can see us matching Chicagos speed, Mini is just one of those good teams, but nothing really stands out, and I feel like the last time we played them we can do it. Parise nor anyone else there is a stand out playoff performer.
Honestly the only team I am scared of would be LA, I think they would just beat the hell out of us. Or we would show how slow they are, but we dont come out of that a healthy team.
