Fans of playoff-bound teams, why will your team win the Stanley Cup this year? On the flip side, why will they lose in the first round?

Calgary is not a team prepared for the pressure of the 1 seed. We will use that playoff experience people tell me is important and grind it out. Vs SJS (sry vgk) we will mainline our power from ottawa and tap Anderson's 51 save shutout own goal power vs the sharks. Plus they owe us for setting the fire in ott and even getting ek. The central wcf scenarios: bone to pick with a struggling nsh; wpg i want to say have been unimpressive lately, but if theyre here that doesnt work... karma for taking stastny; stl Zadorov and Compher play out of their minds to assert dominance on buffallo in the ROR trade. Finals will be TB, and we beat them because they stole our mojo earlier in the season causing us to lose 20 games in a row. Classic storybook ending, which we have going for us with the ott pick storyline for a year and a half.

We lose to the flames because we're the 8 seed, and they have a good team. Im not quite ready to respect them as the best in the west, but im not an analyst.
