Hey, I hear ya. I actually picked this series to go six, with game one being one of two Oiler victories.
But the truth is, the Oilers are a two-man team, and of those two men is playing at 50% right now. Ordinarily, I think this series is a closer match-up than many Flames fans would give the Oilers credit for, but if Draisaitl is basically neutralized through injury/illness, the Oilers should really be a cakewalk for Calgary. McDavid can get 4 points every game, but the Flames will just score more goals overall anyway.
