So I'd actually argue the opposite. People who want the Hawks are thinking more with their gut feeling rather than with their heads, as they're intimidated by the Ducks before the playoffs even start.

Not quite, but I am concerned that getting past a first round with the Ducks will leave the team in a worse state than if they played Chicago. Both opponents will be as tough as it gets. I want a long playoff run for the Flames. And even though getting out of the first round is a tall order regardless, I think if they do it against Chicago they'll be better suited, health wise, for the next round.
