I do not fear the Oilers. The Flames outmatch them in all aspects except for top end talent, but the gap is not huge there either. The Flames top line can go toe-to-toe with anyone. Flames have better defence, goaltending, depth, coaching, leadership and structure.

I fear the constant media whining about McDavid deserving and warranting more calls, and the refs succumbing to the national pressure and we end up with a PP fest.

I'm hoping for a fairly called 5v5 series, and if that happens, I feel very comfortable about the Flames chances.
