The Flames were the weaker team in the first half of all four games, but didn't get burned.

This (though they did get burned in VAN). First of all, they're playing great, and I don't want to take anything away from them. But they have been outplayed for significant stretches in every game, and gotten away with it. Again, not in VAN, but they were able to score 6 goals in VAN, something they are not going to be able to count on every night. And so far, they are 2nd in the league in goals per game at 4.75, a pace they will not be able to maintain.
They are fun to watch, and I hope it continues, but there will be down times too. The question is: how well will they be able to right the ship when things go bad? We'll see.
