Hopefully Markstrom can lock it down, because I think the best hope is to just run and gun against the Oilers. The Flames have the better goaltending and defense on paper, and can roll 4 lines in a way the Oilers can only dream of, but McDavid and Draisaitl are guaranteed several high quality scoring chances.

As crazy as it sounds, this may be exactly right. Instead of trying to hold McDrai to 2 and win 3-2, maybe the 9-6 mark is how you beat these turkeys. Just let Marky make more saves than Smith, and shoot the damn lights out.
