If we had the choice, I'd rather avoid those teams. Poor or not (and in Vegas' case, not) I'd hate to ask the Flames to accomplish something 3-4 times in 2 weeks that they haven't been able to do anywhere between 2 years and 10 years.
Late edit - The playoffs are already a pressure filled difficult time. Why add other storylines?

Vegas was a great team last year and Calgary wasn't - not surprising they won. Calgary also handed Vegas its ass twice in the Dome.
Flames won once in Anaheim, true. But that was just last year. And again, how many of those games were against really really good Anaheim teams, with really really bad Calgary teams?
Edmonton? meh. Not afraid of that team one tiny bit. Especially now that Koskinen has returned to Earth.
Every team has a story line. SJ has people all worried about Kane. Flames haven't beaten Dallas this year. St. Louis has always played tough - Flames are 1-2 this year.
Let those teams worry about playing the Flames, I say.
