We played Calgary 4 times this year and are 1 and 3 against them. 2 of Calgary's wins came during that awful stretch after christmas.
Calgary has a very balanced attack with 6 20+ goal forwards. They have a good mix of size and speed up front. They like to roll 4 lines and play a up tempo hard forechecking style.
Their defense is huge. All big guys who play physical. It is also going to be key for them this series. If they can play phsical and stay out of the box against our foward group they will have success.
The weak point on the team is the tandem of Dreidger/Glover. Dreidger will stat and he is a bit inconsistent for Calgary this season. If Brandon can get on him early it will go a long way to winning this series.
The keys for Brandon are going to be secondary scoring. If we can get our second and third lines going we should win this series. Stones line will score but 1 line can't carry a team. If Seaman and Sundhar come back and play the way they can it will help us out.
Brandon is 15-4-2 in their last 21 games. The Best record in the league during that time. This isn't that struggling team that almost lost their playoff spot after Christmas. Boes is back and playing as good as we know he can. If he provides the same steady goaltending and we play solid defensively we should win this series.
My prediction
Brandon wins in 5. Boes keeps up his stellar play and our offense really starts to roll. Calgary's defense takes too many penalties and we make them pay. They are forced to try and play run and gun and it costs them.
