DirtyDeeds Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Could very well be one of the toughest series this playoff season. Very difficult to envision our line matchups for this series... I am a Homer so Flames in 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrek Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Flames in 7, I was correct for last series. Let's hope we keep on moving up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kehatch Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Flames in 4. Got a feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulstad Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 As much as I would love to think the Flames will win this series, it certainly isn't going to be an easy one. However, this team in the playoffs looks different than the team that played all year (Bennett, Ferland, etc). I'd love to say Flames in 6, but I think this one is going the distance. Flames will split the games in Anaheim, and end up winning in 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameter Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Gonna be a tough series. I'm thinking Flames in 7 - if we win. Whatever the outcome, I'm going to be very proud of our boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stajan, Backlund, Schlemko, and Jones have found a new level for the playoffs. The team is peaking at the right time. Plus Anaheim completed the dreaded sweep and hopefully won't be ready come Thu / Fri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix66 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I agree with the long layoff, we can surprise them in game 1-- it may have only gone 4 but Winnipeg hit them pretty hard .. i can see us winning in 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Gonna be tough but I'm going Flames in 6. It'll be tough enough to steal 1 in their barn. We'll need to use home games to our advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowtownguy Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 The Ducks are an excellent team without a doubt. They are resilient, consistent, and even-termpered. All teams have cracks to exploit though. I am not entirely sure that they have excellent goaltending. It seems off at times. I don't think they deal that well with speed. Winnipeg was swept, but they did appear to control significant segments of some of those games using their speed. Like all ice hockey teams, Anaheim tends to have periods where they appear less than intense. A veteran team will behave like that. So, if Hartley can strategize well and the boys buy in, I think we have a chance here in 7. The great thing about hockey is you never really know who will win on any given night. There are too many variables at work in the game. By the way, now that the Canucks series is over, should we just fess up and admit that all Calgarians put into a fund to buy off the refs?

JBFlamesFan Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Goaltending will win or lose this series.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastleMania Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Interestingly, Anaheim was the only team in the West to win their series coming in as the higher ranked team. Calgary will rectify the situation this series. Flames in 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conundrumed Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 No call. The coaching matchups only get tougher in the playoffs. It'll be interesting to watch Hartley's approach. Maurice is a good coach too and couldn't quite get over the hump. But Sutter did, last year. And Babcock did the year before. Anaheim isn't unbeatable. Flames in 4. Because I always say that!

Fowl Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 interesting observations. Should be a great series. Goaltending will be key. Experience may be the positive intangible. Both teams play until the end of the third (or longer) so no lead is safe. Ducks in 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfire11 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I think we can steal game 1 but have a feeling that's the only win we get in Anaheim. So we need to win it in game 6. Flames in 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexDreki Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Flames in 7 after a tough as nails series, in which neither team will have enough in the tank to make it to the dressing rooms after game 7. Sorry I just can't write of this team. I do wonder for those who have Anahiem taking out the series, which to be far is the more likely outcome, if they have written it in pen, or if the fact that the flames are the flames gives them enough doubt just to pencil it in.
