Sure, but the Oilers are older than last year. And the playoffs are a grind - if you're working this hard to survive round 1, you've got a long road ahead of you. And I don't think their old legs will be able to handle it.
I still think LAK win the series, but even if they don't, the Oilers won't have the easy path they got last year. And they're starting from a worse position: somewhat beat up already, and older. Plus that seed of doubt that, after giving it everything they had last year, that still wasn't enough.
