Out of all the teams that made the playoffs in the west I think this is the best match up for the Flames. However, Colorado has been on a tear just to get in, while the Flames rested guys the last couple weeks. We've seen what long breaks do to this team and my concern is that they may have signs of rust and nerves opening at home on Thursday. I worry about them losing the first game. That being said, if we can lock up MacKinnon with 3M + Brodano for most of the series, I see no reason why the Flames' depth shouldn't overcome this first round challenge. Flames in 6, GFG!
