So you really think that this version of the Flames can actually do damage in the playoffs? This version of the team that plays slow, cannot score past the 1st line, has terrible PP, often comes unmotivated and unprepared, cannot hold down a lead....can beat the likes of Jets, Ducks, Nashville, Kings, Vegas in a seven game series?
I suppose they can, never say never as they say. But that's more in the domain of wishful thinking and hoping than it is realistic. For once, I'd like the team to actually be a legitimate threat, to contend for division titles, to be atop the West. I've had enough of mediocrity and being satisfied of just getting in the playoffs and hoping for the best.
As for your Nashville comparison, it's not valid at all as you forgot that they actually did a retool with the Subban and Johanssen trades.
