I'm going to say Chicago but only because the last couple of games have shown that the Flames are far to willing to let themselves get bogged down and distracted by the extracurriculars dictated by the other team. If they could keep their heads in the game I'd say the Ducks (with their mass of injuries) but they seemingly can't so I'd rather see them face Chicago... our odds are probably the same either way but at least with Chicago we'd get more entertaining hockey and if we get beat I'd rather see us get beat by the other team and not beaten by ourselves.
Regardless, I think we end up playing Chicago. I just want to see the Black Aces called up and playing. We'll probably lose but It's more important to rest our big guns and have them at close to 100% for the playoffs then it is to try and eek out 7th place instead of 8th place.

While I agree that the true notion of a team being cursed isn't real, there's no denying the fact that a streak like this can mess with a players psyche. 26 straight losses. If you're playing them in Anaheim have a bad bounce or two go against you, I bet it weighs heavily on the players. Look at the Cubs and Red Sox curses. They were both recently exorcized but you can argue the fact that those curses didn't affect the players. Which brings me to another question, how superstitious are you? I'll be watching a game, get up off the couch and the team starts playing better, so I won't go back to that couch for the rest of the game. In my head I know it's stupid and completely irrational but I can't help it.
