I wonder if those teams would rather play the Avs or the Flames in round 1? I assume the Flames but not 100% sure since it will be a lot tougher physically against Calgary with all the big boys on the team and Sutter’s style of play with a lot of checking (and in the playoffs many of those stick checks turn into body checks).
Dallas beat both Calgary and Colorado in 2020 but those teams have improved since then. Nashville just got punched in the mouth by the Flames and it would be a fun, fight-filled, physical series.
I am ready for either opponent and feel like the Flames should beat either. The way these teams are stumbling down the stretch I am not sure they can flip a switch. Another thing the Avs have lost 4 of 5 where the Flames have won 10 of 12 with points in 11 games.
