Gotta go with the Flames here but Colorado will make it interesting and push it to 6 games.
I have changed my stance on this series. Been talking with a buddy of mine and he has convinced me Colorado will win. Bigger, faster, tougher. MacK truck going to make it to the WCF by my pools calculations lol. I think Calgary overachieved a bit and Colorado is heating up right at the right time.
Never trust anything coming out of Calgary! Flames goal-tending way too suspect, so I'll call for the 'upset'
Rantanen is good to go for game 1!
Great start boys! Happy they didn't have 'suspect' goaltending in this game!
Long series, I know, but a positive start.
Landeskog and MacKinnon played 25minutes each. Wow
And Gaudreau only played 15min?! Is that right? What the heck?

I am not overly optimistic but they were sure hot down the stretch and it is amazing what a hot goalie can do. I took a flyer on them in my work pts only playoff pool which was a live draft of 14 players. Didn't like who was available mid-way through so I went Colorado heavy and selected MacKinnon, Rantanen, Landeskog, Barrie and Makar (with my last pick). If they get past the Flames you never know how far they could go.
