I will say, with Sutter at the helm, I think the chances of the flick being switched are much higher than in previous years.
I actually think most teams in the west should fear facing the Flames in the playoffs, especially if it's in round 2 (where the Flames have a much better record than in round 1).

I disagree. When such a large portion of the lineup consists of guys like Lucic, Zadorov, Gubrandson, Tanev, Pitlick, Lewis, and Ritchie, and when Sutter is coach, the team is more gritty than in the past couple of years. For better or for worse.
