How do the Flames and Canucks match up statistically?

There are still a number of hours to go until the puck actually drops. Until then, everyone's next favourite thing: numbers!

The Calgary Flames couldn't have asked for a better opponent. They're in just the second year of a rebuild, hence, not great; really, a little overachieving. A lot overachieving. And you could probably expect most playoff teams to wipe the floor with them.

That's why it's so nice they drew the Vancouver Canucks in the first round. Not only is it an excellent divisional rivalry, ripe with rather recent history (even if most everyone involved in that is gone), but they're the two teams that are the best matches for one another.
