Taking off my E=NG glasses and saying that this will be a much tougher series than the voting suggest (even though I picked Flames in 7). Oilers seem to show up against the Flames more often than not. McDavid is having a good post season offensively. Evander Kane has shown up and been a force. Oilers and their fans will treat this like the Cup final, so the Flames and fanbase will have to be ready weather the storm.
I still think the Flames come out on top. But I'm sure we'll see a few McD video game cheat code rushes on occasion. Just thankful no more Oettenger and hoping for some Smith flops.
Should be a much more entertaining series with no more Rick Bones suffocating play. That Dallas series was brutal for more than a few reasons, so this should feel a lot more entertaining.
