It's actually 10 minutes shorter to fly to Nashville from Calgary compared to Dallas according to Googlemaps.

LA are the easiest match up. Dallas are the second easiest. I would want nothing to do with Nashville or Vegas as a top seed. Nashville has a goalie and Vegas will be playing with 50% more cap space.

Don't care. You have to beat at least 3 very good teams to win the big prize, if it has to be 4 so be it.

Darryl mentioned unfinished business. I feel they have that with Dallas, and with Colorado for that matter. I suppose they also have that with Vegas having not won in that building yet. That would be quite the road to the Cup wouldn't it.

loved my first recent visit to Nashville and the arena (although was easy to do so as I could benignly cheer for the Preds against the Flyers). the direct West jet flight also great
but then there is Saros and Josi- oh well every playoff team has good players

Not VGK, that's for sure. Although they are weaker this year, they are playoff-tested and know what it takes. I can definitely see them upping their game come playoff time. I think Flames/LA would be a good matchup. Sutter would love nothing more than to beat up on his old team. They will be without Doughty. It would be a good physical matchup.

Best to Worst - LAK - They have been a bit banged up, and will be missing Doughty. They are mostly younger and less experienced in my eyes.
- NSH - The Flames mostly have close games against them, but I think that Calgary will have an easier time shutting them down. The play of Josi and Saros will be huge factors for Nashville.
- DAL - They're getting older, full of vets, but they keep getting timely scoring against us. I think they have perfected deflection and rebound goals against the Flames, which will be tough to deal with in the playoffs. For any other team I would pick DAL as the best opponent, but Benn, Seguin and Pavelski have had our number for a while.
- VGK - Assuming they get everyone back from LTIR for the first round they will be a very tough opponent. The Knights have the experience and the depth to be a power house in the playoffs. In addition, they somehow got the Honda Center curse in their building as well. They might be a bit rusty in the first round, but I prefer them facing Colorado in the first round.

I think LA and Dallas are winnable.
I have concerns over Nashville and Vegas.

It will be Nashville. And I'm lukewarm on that but I think we have the edge in scoring and if the top line plays like it can, it won't matter much how good Saros is.
Also Markstrom is in the top 6 for goalies and Saros isn't so objectively should we be the ones trembling about goaltending or should Nashville?
