Very easy to over-achieve somewhat, and have a better than expected year, in a situation like that.
The way to deal with a team like that is to make the game not fun for them. Outwork them, and hit everything. Grind them.
Unfortunately, that's not how the Flames play. They prefer to trade scoring chances with teams. And while the Flames are much more talented, and should win that game, it does play into Vancouver's hands, and will keep them engaged.
6-4 Flames in a wild one. With lots of Randorf hate in the GT.

Definitely agree with the bolded. CGY has to decide if they want to be the hardest working team in their building. CGY has been great at home and I think it's a pride/identity thing for them - so I'm excited to see them bring their best game tonight.
