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.
Another factor is that Edmonton beat Dallas last year's playoff, will they get in Ottinger's head? He let in quite a few softies.
