I would argue that the Flames won the last 2 games, against 2 of the top teams in the NHL, despite getting out-goalied. Doesn't really line up with many of the sentiments from nay sayers. I think they're a team that plays hard, has fun, and has some budding elite talent in the mix. (Zary and Coronato) Huberdeau may not have glowing numbers, but he's looked much, much better (and happier) this year.
I put 100 bucks on CGY to win the cup before the season just because I thought they were better than the odds they were getting.....I don't have any illusions about collecting that 15K, but I do think they'll get to round 2 at least.
