Give me either. Both have advantages and drawbacks.
Oilers (good): Flames should be motivated to avenge being swept in the regular season, Oilers have poor secondary scoring and below average defense.
Oilers (bad): officiating bias, deadly top line, lots of confidence after sweeping Flames in the regular season.
Ducks (good): injuries to D corp.
Ducks bad: ####ing Honda Center, lots of confidence, looking to avenge Gio's hit on Fowler.
I'd prefer the Oilers just on those points but a BoA would be incredible (and unbearable for which ever team loses).
Also, while not having home ice advantage can be seen as a disadvantage there is also less pressure to win a series as an underdog and the Flames had a decent road record.
