Don't get me wrong Calgary is the better team no doubt about it.
Such a double edged sword. If Calgary knocks out Edmonton in round 2 that's a feeling that'll quell (rightly or wrongly) a lot of down seasons for me.
But if we were to do the unthinkable and get bounced by those fools I/we will never hear the end of it. GFG

I do not dread the series but completely agree with the stakes being extremely high and those games will be more stressful than if we played LA. Beating Edmonton would be amazing but losing to them would be dreadful especially with the somewhat uncertainty around the future of the team with all the upcoming free agents.
It is funny because of how these series have gone it gives both Alberta teams a ton of confidence against the other. I see Oiler fans in HF mocking our inability to score and say either team would be an easy out in round 2. I watch the Oilers struggle against the Kings with their weak starts and thin blueline as think the Flames will smoke them and with an elite goalie I am not worried about their big guns.
If the whistles are in the refs pocket the Flames sweep the Oilers. They can’t touch us 5 on 5
