I think playing Nashville will get the team battle ready, after wining a hard hitting, hard fought series, the team will be ready for anyone! Look at the 89 Flames, the underdog Canucks scared the poo out of the team, they almost got knocked out, but from then on, they are on cruise control. The 04 Flames, same thing, they got the poo scared out of them by the Canucks, won that series in OT and from then on, they know what to expect and got to the SC final. So, this time around, when they have to fight tooth and nail to get out of the first round, that will prepared them.
