Waves in the Red C? How many ways can I (un)cleverly mash these playoff slogans together?

Everyone across the blogosphere has beaten me to really addressing the first round Wings/Flames matchup, but now that I have backlogs of homework and am sitting around waiting for my roommate with nothing better to do, it seems like the proper time.

Elly did a great job with the Pens series preview - I'm going to be a bit more lazy. First off, Christy has a great in depth preview over at Behind the Jersey. That said, if you're looking for Wings coverage, make sure you also check out:

• On the Wings
• Behind the Jersey
  
• Gorilla Crouch
• Abel to Yzerman

And for the Flames side of things:

• Battle of Alberta
• Double D(ion)
• The Real Deal Hockey
• Flamesblog
• Five Hole Fanatics
• Open Ice Hits
• Completely Hammered
  

For my contributions with regard to initial predictions, head over to Bitter Leaf where a group of us are making more than likely terrible predictions. The Wings/Flames discussion is here, but make sure you peruse the rest as well - I'm having trouble keeping my witty banter up to par. (I do, however, make fun of Ty Conklin!)

My prediction, for the record was Wings in six - but the more important question this series will bring us is whether or not HG and I will still be friends when it's over. It will take lots of pie and Slurpees, but I think we can do it.

Go Wings, Flames suck-a-rooni-dooni!

Edit: This is case in point why the Flames do not deserve to win this series. Ow.
