It's kinda a joke
I think all these teams have/had a false sense of how good they are right now. Oiler fans think they are a cup contender...they beat the Kings without Doughty and might beat the Flames without Tanev and Markstrom playing absolutely terrible.

Reality check in round three for either team IMO

Flames will need to find their A game to win three straight but if they can't get there it doesn't even matter. B's and C's might keep it close against the Oilers and might even extend the series but not the Avs who are making the Blues look silly.
I'd rather be crushed by Colorado in the 3rd round (or even St.Louis is that series was flipped) than lose to Edmonton in the 2nd round.

Heck, I would have been able to accept defeat to Dallas over a loss to Edmonton.

Losing to Edmonton is the worst.
