The Oilers have had much better detail to attention defensively this year, unfortunately
Except for the first couple of games against LA where they literally backed out of the path of the shooter and gave a clear path to the net (and then blamed Skinner)
Dallas had stretches where they dominated play but did not make Skinner move laterally (expect the one save early one game and he got it with his arm (but there was still 7 hole there, he was part good to get there and part lucky that it hit him), and a couple of Rantanen posts
Panthers have shown the ability to play a patient game but realistically with the game breakers on both teams, we could see a lot of close games, even OTs which could go either way
I also expect that Edmonton will draw a lot of penalties, have no embellishment calls, but Florida might
