Right now the Oilers are looking at Smith and saying he's no Oettinger.
Sutter versus basically a rookie coach.
Flames with a better blueline and goaltender and a better bottom 6. The Oilers have the suppossed top two players in this series, but lets be honest the Kings aren't even close to the Flames.
I think there will be a game where McDavid and Draisaitl get loose though Drai looks hurt. But in a long series I take the Sutter factor and depth every time.
I think the Oilers are about to walk into a hurricane, a sheer force of nature. A storm of Fire and Ice, and they're going to have no answers.
This felt a lot like the series against Vancouver in 1989, and it set the table for the Flames run.
