The problem with saying that Ferland, Bennett and Tkachuk will play a physical game and throw the ducks off, is that the Ducks have more veteran players who can play that same type of game and have played that way for longer. The problem is that with that strategy the Flames would be playing out of their comfort zone, while letting the ducks play their style. If the Flames want to beat the ducks they have to do it with speed and smart systems play, not gooning it up like they tried the last couple against Anaheim. I also feel like Gibson is more capable of stealing a series than Crawford is, so for what it's worth I hope we face Chicago. Also the ducks getting points in 10 straight or whatever puts them in a pretty confident position heading into the post season.
