The Flames have beaten almost every team in the NHL this year. Hoping for one team or another to make/miss to benefit the Flames is IMO useless.
IF (and its a very, very, very big IF) the Flames can continue to play their game, they can beat any team in a 7 game series. I remember celebrating when they drew Col in 2019... 'member how that turned out?
Take each opponent as is, play your game, and move on. That's it. Don't need to root for certain teams to miss, etc for the benefit of the Flames. There is no easy path in the playoffs - Flames fans of all fans should know that.
That being said, I WILL cheer for whatever makes it hardest on Edmonton - so if LAK are going to be without their top D-Man, get Vegas in there instead.
Dream is LAK VGK make it and Edm falls out, but that's not looking likely anymore.
