Sure, we’re talking about a highly successful team. And if the Flames go on a run like the Hurricanes have been on for the last 6-7 years, I don’t think anyone will complain. But it does show that lack of size up front can be a handicap, even if the individual players are great.

With the Canes rock solid goaltending it is probably the size of the players that is the problem. Suspect if you flip the goalies this year the Canes win the series.
