[QUOTE=NegativeSpace;8268294]I had to look up the Stars lines from 2020.

DALLAS STARS (via NHL.com)

Jamie Benn — Tyler Seguin — Alexander Radulov
Mattias Janmark — Joe Pavelski — Denis Gurianov
Joel Kiviranta — Roope Hintz — Corey Perry
Andrew Cogliano — Jason Dickinson — Blake Comeau

Esa Lindell — John Klingberg
Jamie Oleksiak — Miro Heiskanen
Andrej Sekera — Joel Hanley

Anton Khudobin
Jake Oettinger

Khudobin caught lightning in a bottle in those playoffs and the top line was better than it is today. That may be compensated for by Hintz and Dickinson being better players. I remember Perry being a problem and Heiskanen being a huge surprise. On the whole I do think Dallas is a worse team today.

The Flames aren’t as prone to wild swings in their game this year and they’ve shown the ability to come back against Dallas. The coach has seemed happy with the players despite ending with a two game losing streak. Probably best not to have them win straight through so they have more focus. Better secondary scoring and team defence.

These are the Flames. My head says Flames in 5 but my history cheering for this team thinks a nail biter in 7 games.

((( Cory Perry plays for the dirty cheating Bolts now....perfect place for him I guess. ))))
