1. Toews is better than Kesler but he isn't a dirty player. Would rather see Johnny deal with him for a series than Kesler. Or it's Edmonton and even though the Flames played Edmonton at the worst time this year I think they would be favored to win and not sure I could stand losing to them
A series against the Oilers would mean a CBC/Sportsnet McDavid circle jerk for almost two solid weeks. Watching just one game with that stuff is already annoying as f---. Can you imagine being forced to endure 7 games of that crap? It would likely go down as the most irritating broadcast in the history of the NHL playoffs.

That being said, the Oilers are probably the Flames' best shot at getting out of round 1 simply due to our superior depth, better D, and equal (if not better) goaltending. But yea, I'd almost rather play the Hawks just to avoid the inevitable Oiler love fest.
