Both of those teams scare the shirt out of me. But the good news is a lot of other nifty things have to happen before we would have to worry about that. And then - what a nice ting to worry about!

That's why it is imperative for the Flames to win the conference (finish 1st), because they'll have a far easier road than any other team in the west. Never any guarantee of course, see Chicago when they got swept by Nashville for a perfect example. However, the more you can stack the deck in your favour, the better chance for us to have to worry about what the east is doing.
This has been by far the most fun, bizarre and wild season that I and all of us (at least under the age of 40) have ever experienced.
It seems so weird that the Flames are just manhandling teams even when they aren't playing well. We have a 7 game winning streak where the first line played well in only the last of them. Just ridiculous.
