Balance and goaltending are clear requirements for a team to win the Stanley Cup.
Those qualities, combined with an ideal setup in the underdog role heading into the Stanley Cup Players, are why the Calgary Flames will shock the NHL and win the Stanley Cup.

Of course, the biggest reason for their success will be Elliott, who was 26-18-3 with a 2.55 goals-against average and .910 save percentage After a rocky start to his first season in Calgary, Elliott finished strong and showed he has the ability to carry the Flames.

It's clear Gulutzan knows what buttons to push, and that ability will be important when it comes to dealing with adversity in the postseason.
His intensity, Gaudreau's big-game ability and the play of Elliott is why the Flames, who last won the Cup in 1989, will bring the title back to Calgary.
