Nothing about the way the Flames have played the Jets over the entire past few years suggests that they're going to get rolled.

Edged, enough to lose the series? Sure. But winnipeg hasn't really steamrolled the flames at all since their reincarnation outside of i think a season ending game with rookies and once 4-1 with an ENG tacked on when they were actually severely outplayed but goalie stood on his head. The flames have blown them out on a few occasions in some more wide open matches in that time though.

And can't dismiss that Gaudreau has been highly productive against the Jets.

There's simply no indication that a series with them is even likely to go that way. It's pretty much asinine to call it "realistic". That's straight pessimism. It will be close, ill be shocked if either side runs away with a sweep.
