Canucks vs. Flames Round 1

I can smell a Canuck, Flames 1st round series. LA will be the odd man out. Too much hockey over the past few years.

This potential series could ignite a modern era rivalry between these two reassembled/rebuilt Western Canadian teams. It would be an awesome series to watch, and gives us the best chance to get out of the first round... After round 1, well, anything can happen.

Something feels funny about this year...

If the playoffs started tomorrow then this would be our matchup. I for one dont think the Flames would be an easy-out as some others around here do. I'd bet that it would go as the last three meetings between Calgary and Vancouver - 7 games, overtimes, and a toss-up for who is still standing at the end.

With the way the Canucks have played against top teams, the only opponent that I would really be afraid would be the Flames. Having said that, it would be great to rekindle an old rivalry if Vancouver vs Calgary matchup comes true.

I don't think Calgary's goaltending is that great.

Also, the Canucks seem to match up well against Calgary. They aren't super physical, and they don't mind trading chances.

I think Lack is a better bet to win over Hiller/Ramo.

There are no 'easy' playoff series win, but I would say that except against maybe St.Louis (who seems to lose in round 1 a lot) Calgary is the 'easiest' matchup to win.
