Anaheim seems to go deep with their blue line. No cup finals but a couple western finals in recent years.
The LA Kings had a great blue line when they won their cups.
I think it can be done. I think what's holding the Flames back is their power play. It's horrible. They have too much talent for it to be this bad.
