We will soon find out if it's good enough to win a cup or advance deep in the playoffs.

My concern is if the Flames have an answer for the Mackinnon's and McDavid's.
And as much as the final pairing has been great this season, on the road, those two guys could feast on those two if they get the match-ups.
I think the team has more depth offensively, but its streaky depth. Strepth if you will.
