Dallas had only 37 wins this year. Calgary had 36 and won the season series against the Stars. They can't afford to sleepwalk through this series like they did against Colorado.

If they go into the playoffs overlooking any team after the Colorado fiasco last year that would be awful and show the team learned nothing.
I get that the Flames players probably believe they get a slightly more ideal matchup playing the Stars over the Blues but I doubt any team that is going into a series as a betting underdog is overlooking a team that had a better regular season.
