I expect some Benn shenanigans in game 1, getting the Flames off their game. I expect the Flames to take over and win the series, but it will not be anything close to the pushover some of you expect.

Benn, Seguin and Radulov are not the players they once were and aren’t going the flip a switch. Especially Benn and Radulov. I mean, Radulov had 22 points in 71 games this year and only four goals. That’s poor. He’s not going to have a large impact and won’t figure much into this series. Benn has flashes where he uses that big frame well and he still has got a great shot but he can disappear in games as well.
I have the Flames in 5, but don’t think it will be a push over by any stretch. The games will be close but I have a hard time seeing Dallas getting the best of Calgary in more than one game.
