Big Stars win over the Blues today locks this in. Discuss.
Best draw the flames could have hoped for. dallas can still whip them but Vegas and Avalanches are definitely better and the Blues are defending champs.
Despite the wins and losses none of St. Louis, Colorado, Vegas, or Dallas none looked particularly sharp. All had issues with their goalies and defense. Granted it was a round robin with no real consequences.
Many out there are giving these other clubs too much credit. The ONLY team that depth and skill may be an issue IMO is Colorado and if Calgary keeps building on their defensive game there may even be less of a deficiency. Colorado is susceptible to a strong defensive team that transitions well.
All the rest are very beatable if the Flames show the hard work, perseverance, and discipline they showed in the play-in.
