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.
Haha I totally agree. Remember the infamous Legend of Eddie Lack after just one game? CBC/Sportsnet are cringeworthy. I wonder if NBCSN would broadcast an all Canadian series. And if they did, how to receive their telecast?
