I went to the Wings/Flames game at the 'Dome a month ago and watched as the Flames were simply outclassed. But the playoffs are a different season...
I give the Flames a slight edge in goal and work ethic, but that's it.
We got nothin' to lose. Flames in 7.
GO Flames GO!

I want to see
CGY vs COL
MTL vs TOR
I'll settle I guess for TB vs TOR or CGY/DET vs COL/SJ
AT LEAST NO MINNESOTA, NO ST LOUIS, and NO NEW JERSEY
well im about as big as a wings fan as they come and in the openning round the wings totally overwelmed a team built just like calgary called nashville, the wings can roll 4 lines and it wil prove too tough for a banged up calgary team, the wings are for real this year and they learnt alot from the early exit last year, wings in 5 or 6

Umm, I don't know what series I was watching, but the Wings got pwned in games 3 and 4. Proves that speed > experience.
If the Wings can keep the Flames to their speed (Be prepared to see the Grind Line alot.... and you forgot to put Draper in the grind line post ) then they will win. If not, Calgary will shell them.
Another way Calgary could win is the same way Anaheim beat us last year. Giguere (or however you spell it) only saw about 15-20 shots a game (despite the fact the wings took >50) because the defensemen would drop down to block most of them. While Giguere was insanely good when he needed to be, I credit their victory to all of the players who would sacrifice their body for the team.
I still think the series can go either way. Whomever wins the first game will probably win it.... 6 games, I pick Detroit (Home Ice in the first game)

I'm a Colorado fan so I really hate the Wings, but I'd still like to play them in the western finals, even if there's a better chance for us to lose.
I forgot Draper on the grind line, but who did I include that shouldn't have been there?? Holmstrom?? Is it Draper, McCarty and Maltby then??

Yes, the grind line is Maltby, Draper, and McCarty.
Holmstrom sometimes is on it, but he mostly plays with Yzerman and Shanahan.
I would like to see Colorado-Detroit, but I can't look past Calgary.

Well no matter who we're playing im always gonna back my boys.
Detroit has a great team with a great proven goaltender, but as weve seen in the past before, any team can win if the're goalie gets hot.
We have kipper and he hasn't settled into a great game yet, but if he starts playing like he can then look out Detroit.
Another thing is that Iginla isn't some small european superstar, hes a homegrown Canadian power forward. You hit him and he plays harder, and he showed last game he can step it up tremendously when it counts.
I truly believe that Calgary can win it in 6!!!
GO FLAMES GO!!!!!!!!
