There is no point in hoping for one opponent over the other. Both will be tough match ups for the Flames because this is the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The only logical and real reason to hope for the Avs, is because the travel will be less and there won't be a time zone change. That might have an effect long term if the Flames can get by the first two rounds.

Well, that is not the ONLY logical reason to prefer facing off against Colorado in the first round. Another perfectly logical reason to like this matchup is because of Calgary's superior depth, their excellent home-ice record and their dominance on the road.
