I agree. It's a tough call.
If the Flames are able to slow down McDavid (you can't shut him down) then they have the advantage. A lot of that will come down to how the Flames D handles his speed. Also, some of this will be determined by whether the Flames will be physical with McDavid and will the refs allow them to.
The other big factor will be which goalie gets and stays hot. Elliott has a playoff pedigree but not with the Flames. Talbot isn't really proven in the playoffs but has had a really good season, although they may have overplayed him.
Regardless I think this would be a great series and I would probably lose what little hair I have left.
