If the Flames get improved goaltending at or nearly to MAF's level they will win fairly easily.

Rittich vs Fleury
.911 vs .912 Save Percentage%
.611 vs .567 Quality Start%
THe difference between these two players is that when one guy has a bad start, his team goes right on back to his awful backup. The other team knows better than to play the awful backup.
Fleury is no more likely to take over a series than Rittich. The only advantage he has is that he has the net by default whereas any poor start by Rittich will be punished by a self-destructive Smith start.
