I know on paper it looks like an easier opponent to start the season against but it’s also tough psychologically for the flames. Playing a team that’s loose right off the start because of very low expectations. It’s like one of those end of season games where the flames are desperate for a win to make the playoffs while the opponent has been out of the playoff picture for months and are playing loose and relaxed. Plus Smith seems to have a tendency to not bring his A-game against lesser opponents.
Still... this incarnation of the flames have feasted on the canucks the last few years so I think it should continue. Flames 4. Canucks 2.
