Flames for sure as only Oilers fans and media thought they were a cup contender. The Oilers had a successful regular season that they will not likely repeat in a regular NHL season where they don't play the Senators 9 times. The sweep simply exposed their lack of depth and the fact that the playoffs is not kind to teams that rely on one or two players to stir the drink. Flames were flat out terrible this season, arguably as bad a Flames team as we have seen in some time.
