Hope Dallas does better this year than last year if they face Edmonton again. Was hoping for Colorado to win this game simply because I think they match up better against the oilers. I think Dallas is for sure better team than the oilers but if the refs decide to start calling a bunch of penalties in the series, the advantage would tip towards Edmonton. If Colorado were to face Edmonton and the refs call a bunch of penalties, I think the Colorado powerplay would be just as productive as the oilers powerplay.
Basically this:
Series with few penalties and lots of 5–on-5:
Colorado beats Edmonton
Dallas beats Edmonton
Series with lots of penalties:
Colorado beats Edmonton
Dallas loses to Edmonton
Hoping Vegas takes care of Edmonton in the second round so I can enjoy the rest of these playoffs. If not - Winnipeg or Dallas: please, please stop them.
