That's certainly possible but the Predators are a little like a poor man's version of this year's Flames in that they have a small handful of solid forwards but none that I would consider elite and if the Flames can't shut them down then they probably deserve to lose as good luck shutting down the Avs if you can't shut down the Predators forward group. I know the SO doesn't matter but I find the Flames shooters didn't really take advantage of his lack of size trying to go five hole and blocker side. I would hope they try to get him out of position more in a playoff series or he's just going to play the angles and make saves. If they can get to Saros I feel they should win the series but the reality is that there are no bad teams that make the playoffs in the NHL and the Flames need to execute their game to the fullest or they could lose to anyone.
