It would only be coin flip close against the Habs.

And even then, their goaltending can turn elite, elite.

Not whatever you call Mike Smith feeling good about himself is, and that can unravel at any moment with a signature puckhandling gaff.

All three other Northern clubs have better goaltending and depth that can produce.

For the Oil, the threat ends with line 2, or line 1 if they're stacking their two guys.

Oiler fans have been using the "you always have a chance with those two going" for years. But depth has never failed to persevere over the two-man show. I don't suspect that to suddenly change with the same approach that hasn't changed at all despite little success. They still don't defend well, and the rest the team still stinks.
