Dallas or Nashville - Round 1

[PeteMoss]

Its essentially even odds to who will end up in the 1st Wild Card spot and become the Flames opponent for round 1.

Who would you rather see?

Dallas would be a rematch of the bubble year so a revenge factor while Nashville is a feistier team and if Saros is healthy - they have a better goalie.

[agulati]

If Saros is injured and he misses the remaining games (and more), I think we have more of a likelihood facing Dallas. I’m okay with either. Dallas has had our number in recent years.

A Nashville series will be fun, though quite bruising for the players

I don’t have a preference either way. Bring on the playoffs.

[Toonage]

Poll? Poll.

I vote Dallas.

[direwolf]

I'm fine with either one. Flames can beat both, likely in 6 games or less.

[Fattyffat]

Flames will ragdoll either team. Dallas has the easiest schedule in that they play Arizona and Anaheim whereas Nashville plays the Avs and then Arizona.. I'm thinking it'll be Dallas and I'd rather see them

[Vinny01]

I am confident in either series.

Dallas is the 2020 revenge series and Nashville has some bad blood from last night so I am good with either. Nashville looks more fun and if Soros is out they would be an easier out

[Erick Estrada]

Dallas. From what I have seen the last month a series against the Predators with Saros would be a gruelling, hard fought seven game series. I think they match up well against the Flames as their top scorers have been able to break through and score against the Flames and Saros is good enough to steal a series. While the Stars typically give the Flames fits they are a team the Flames absolutely should beat in 5 or 6 games if they truly are a cup contender.

If Saros is out and Rittich has to start for the Predators then that's probably the easiest route as Big Save Dave really isn't very good.

[FlamesAddiction]

If Saros is out, then Nashville. If not, then either.

[MrMike]

Nashville

[chummer]

Nothing to do with anything but two of the best goal horns in the NHL, just hope we hear neither very often.

Nashville sans Saros.

[topfiverecords]

Nashville. Feel like it will be more entertaining.

[Tron_fdc]

I want to go to an away game in Nashville, but there's no direct flights.

Dallas has direct flights, but.....it just isn't Nash Vegas.

As far as competition goes I really don't care. If we lose in the first round to either team it's a massive failure.

[zukes]

After last night I am going to say Dallas. That was some seriously fun hockey! I also believe Sutter would rather play Nashville, just because of how he reveres veteran experience and Dallas has plenty of that.

[Hemi-Cuda]

Nashville simply because Dallas is the most boring team in the league. I want to be pumped to watch playoff hockey, not falling asleep on the couch

[Sec214]

Anyone, Only 1 team gets the cup.

[GirlySports]

Dallas. I think Nashville is harder building to play in.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Entirely depends on who the goalie is. If Saros is out it's Nashville, if he's in it's Dallas.

WestJet has a direct flight daily to Atlanta, Its only a 3 Hour Drive to Nashville, Also only 2.5 Hours to Dallas from Atlanta as a back up option to the direct. Nashville directs (WS) are Thursday and Sunday from Calgary. Everything else is through redeye via Toronto - Id rather fly to Atlanta and drive then go to that hell hole.

Lets hope Nashville doesn't block out of market fans purchase tickets.

[CalgaryFan1988]

I picked Nashville, even though I feel like they are the better team. Dallas has a hot goalie and a couple Flame killers.

[csnarpy]

I picked Dallas but if Saros is out then I’m switching to Nashville.
