First game win important?

In the playin round, the team that won first game , won 7 of the 8 series.

87.5 % success.

With the seven game series', the percentage drops a bit.

Early Sunday game after a back to back Thursday/Friday.

Seems like that will give someone an advantage. But who?

Without the travel, a compressed schedule probably won't be that bad. No dehydration from stale airplane air, no pressure changes, no late night travel, no time zones, no altitude differences, etc...

Interesting start times. Its a positive that the flames have never lost a midweek afternoon playoff game in August so I'm predicting a win on Tuesday to keep that streak alive.

3 in 4 games to start the series.

Might be a blessing in disguise if Seguin and Bishop are dealing with injuries though.

The qualifying round was 3 games in 4 days to start as well. That worked out okay.


I'm annoyed that this was the one chance in my life for the Flames to play on my birthday, and they're not going to. Now, I just don't know if Friday or Sunday will be the 7-4 win.

Thursday is Johnny's birthday, so that will be a 7-2 win.

I don't think that Calgary is taking their foot off the gas this year. Flames in 6!

The key to winning the series will be to jump on them early. Ride the momentum from winning an actual series while the Stars get reacclimated to playing meaningful hockey. Especially with this compressed schedule, we could be up a game or 3 by the time the Stars understand what they're in for.

Although there's lots of bulletin board material out there already for the Stars with the "best possible matchup" talk, even from Calgary media guys. I'd take that personally if I was on that team.

Game 1 starts the same time I get off work so it looks like I'll be sneaking out 5-10 minutes early.

I’m in Texas, and working from home. Also off on Friday and Monday. Schedule is perfect for me. At least the first 4 games. Hopefully all the Flames need.

Btw my bday on the 29th. We can count on a 4-0 win in the second round!

Khudobin is a decent backup goalie.

Honestly, the only wildcard that could shift this series is Radulov. He *always* gets up for games against the Flames.
