The Ducks schedule is much more difficult than the Oilers cake walk, take a look. As such, we have a much lower chance of finishing ahead of the Oilers than the Ducks. Factoring in that we play the Ducks twice and the Oilers not at all, as counterintuitive as it sounds, I think we should hope the Oilers beat the Ducks. If the Oilers win both times they play we, it would dramatically increase our odds of leap frogging the Ducks. That way we can exact our pound of flesh in a civil war inducing renewal of the battle of Alberta. Nothing would be better than the insanity that would ensue from a Calgary vs Edmonton opening round. Crushing the hopes and dreams of every Oil supporter ourselves? The big picture is what I am cheering for tonight.
