Agreed. It'll be interesting to see if McDoofus still gets special treatment from the officials once the playoffs start. Pretty sure that any team facing them in round 1 is probably thinking about how to possibly counter that, knowing that they might very likely get ridiculous phantom calls going against them in the late stages of a game, particularly when the Oilers are trailing.
The officiating is the only thing that would worry me about playing Edmonton. That top line is definitely good, but if you can shadow Mcdavid and limit his chances, you'll probably win that series in 6 games or less.
