Let's face it, it hard to come first in the Western Conference.
The odds favour that some other team will win it vs. the Flames, even if you consider the Flames the best team. Flames vs. everyone is simply not a good bet.
It's not like the Flames are some juggernaut and clearly better than everyone else.
Even if their odds are better than everyone else, their chances are likely no better than 20%.

I think you're well aware that I'm not saying that.
The guy finds the darkest corner of every room on almost every single topic.
It's one thing to say repeating is tough, it's another to try and discount last year's success due to reasons like a lack of injuries.
I even said in this discussion that I'm more worried about the first round of the playoffs over the conference title.
