I see it no different than the series with the Canucks. Flames in 6. Both teams are pretty even with only five extra loser points by the Oilers separating the two in the standings.
The Oilers may have swept the season series but were fortunate to play the Flames when they did. Rarely are the Flames ready to start the season and even Colorado would have had a good chance at winning the first two. And the last two came during a January slump that started with a horrendous effort in Winnipeg. Then there's Johnson putting the team in a hole early the last game. Play now and I think the worse the Flames come out of it is a split.
