Where the Flames have the advantage on the Avs is mentally. The Abs k ow they are going to be the WC favorite for the SC
and that will weigh in them. If an opponent gets game 1 from them on the road then go up 2-1 (or even 2-0) the Avs may fold. Calgary won't worry about being down 1-9 or even 2-0. They are a more mature team.
