I see no one on the Flames roster that can carry the team like those guys. Maybe Markstrom if he gets hot but he likely has the guys in front of him dragging him down.
Either way I'm not banking on another miracle run that has happened once in franchise history. Nor do I see any resemblance to the Kings who were a big heavy team and extremely deep. The only common factor is Daryl and he can't make up for 22 other guys.

Agreed. 2004 team talent level is ridiculously underrated. Robyn Regehr was elite. He made team Canada ahead of Bouwmeester, who only made it as injury replacement. Bouwmeester is largely considered elite #1 Damn, yet prime Regehr was better. Leopold made team USA and IIRC was their top pairing DMan.
