Reply With QuoteI do. In playoffs hitting usually picks up. Calgary was the last place team in hits by over 100 hits. I think if Colorado comes out hitting Calgary may not know how to handle it.Originally Posted by Eskimo Brother

Re: Pacific Semi: (1) Calgary Flames vs (WC) Colorado Avalanche
Gotta go with the Flames here but Colorado will make it interesting and push it to 6 games.

Re: Pacific Semi: (1) Calgary Flames vs (WC) Colorado Avalanche
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.
Re: Pacific Semi: (1) Calgary Flames vs (WC) Colorado Avalanche
Never trust anything coming out of Calgary! Flames goal-tending way too suspect, so I'll call for the 'upset'
Re: Pacific Semi: (1) Calgary Flames vs (WC) Colorado Avalanche
Rantanen is good to go for game 1!
Re: Pacific Semi: (1) Calgary Flames vs (WC) Colorado Avalanche
Great start boys! Happy they didn't have 'suspect' goaltending in this game!
Long series, I know, but a positive start.
Re: Pacific Semi: (1) Calgary Flames vs (WC) Colorado Avalanche
Landeskog and MacKinnon played 25minutes each. Wow
And Gaudreau only played 15min?! Is that right? What the heck?

Re: Pacific Semi: (1) Calgary Flames vs (WC) Colorado Avalanche
Sam Bennett just became my favourite Flame
Re: Pacific Semi: (1) Calgary Flames vs (WC) Colorado Avalanche
Peters rolls all four lines and Backlund plays against MacKinnon. Colorado only has one line apparently.
Re: Pacific Semi: (1) Calgary Flames vs (WC) Colorado Avalanche
Well it balances out because that one line is better than the entire Calgary team. Not saying that in jest - no one in the Calgary team can outskill and outcompete the MacKinnon line.

Re: Pacific Semi: (1) Calgary Flames vs (WC) Colorado Avalanche
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.
