My Calgary Flames In The Stanley Cup Playoffs - First Round Preview (S02E17)

After the Calgary Flames successfully defeated the Winnipeg Jets in the play in series. I preview the upcoming first round series in the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs as the Calgary Flames draw the Dallas Stars. Given how the Calgary Flames looked in the play in series and the Dallas Stars looked in the round robin. I like the Calgary Flames chances in advancing in the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs all being played up in Edmonton, Alberta.
