Maybe they all know something we don't. But out of 30+ predictions I've only seen two taking Vancouver and less than 50% have the series going 6 or more games. Was Edmonton that good in their opening round series vs the Kings?

I think it's mostly a matter of Edmonton being the better team to begin with and then you factor in the third string goalie and lacklustre performance from Pettersson the last 1/4 of the season and that's all she wrote. I think this would be a close series with a healthy Demko in net. As it stands, yeah, I think it would be a good showing if VAN could get it to 6.
Silovs played well for 3 games but I don't think it's unfair to expect him to start looking like an AHL goalie against what he's about to be faced with.
