The look on Clay's face when you said, "Every team that won the special teams battle, won the series" LOL Its like it was starting to sink in, what is coming. A couple of thoughts; You guys are under evaluating the Oiler team defense. They have much improved 5 on 5 and PK stats this year, especially since the coaching change. The Oilers can play low scoring games and win, something they have improved upon immensely this year. Their gamesmanship has improved as well. I do think the Canucks 3rd and 4th lines are better, and may be the key to a series win for you guys. Your goaltending depth is better as well. In any case I expect a great series, will probably go six or seven games.

Bold prediction. Canucks sweep. They suprise in game 1. Win game they should have lost in game 2 and this causes the oilers to abandon their system, stop trusting in Skinner and play chaotically. After the series mcdavid asks for a trade. Draisaitl refuses to sign and the oilers end up in a decade of darkness.
