Florida does look like the best playoff team again.
Carolina is playing well but doesn't have the talent Florida does when Florida is at their best.
I think Dallas/Edmonton could be a toss up. My worry is can Dallas get over their conference finals demons. It was an extremely close series last year and special teams was the difference (Oilers +4 on their PP, Stars -1 on their PP).
I worry about the Stars d-core a little - especially if Heiskanen isn't 100% and they haven't been great possession wise in the playoffs.
In the end if the Oilers can get past the Stars, and then Panthers then they earned it.
