And after that I think the Flames have the advantage all the way. The disparity isn't in skill... it's in past playoff execution. But a lot of evidence points to the roots of Flames' recent playoff struggles lying more in unfortunate samples of play than total ineptitude.

Why would the Jets even bother to show up?
In your similar skill pairings who would be a faster, better skater?
You would have to give that Schiefele is at least a luckier shooter as he has a 17.1 shooting % . Over the last 3 season schiefele has been lights out lucky with an 18.2 %
Last season
Gaudreau and MacKinnon are similarly skilled.
Tkachuk and Landeskog are similarly skilled.
Lindholm and Rantanen are similarly skilled.
Monahan and Compher are similarly skilled.
Backlund and Soderberg are similarly skilled.
