Yeah, no. First, the finals are different than the first round, second, the Sharks are actually better this year than last, and third, their opponents had Crosby, Malkin and Kessel. I know everyone's all pumped up by the recent hot streak but the Flames are not the Penguins.

Honestly, maybe. I'm not sure which would be worse. San Jose's depth at literally every position is better. No one should want to play that team.
Calgary might actually match up decently against Chicago, the main difference would be goaltending. As is likely to be the case in any series that could realistically happen.
It seems pretty clear to me that the most winnable matchup is the Oilers, because it's all about containing one guy.
