Flames can take the Ducks, but only if everyone does their part.

This is key.
Flames are totally capable but we haven't seen it since the streak ended. The reason I said I was confident was cause I believe playoffs will be enough to wake them up and have them playing at that level again.
If they can't wake up for the playoffs then it'll be concerning. Last time around they were a fresh rebuilding team with little experience and got pushed around by the Ducks. This time that's not an excuse.
