Hope Kassian nails Kesler every chance he gets!

[Hortankin]

Ducks in 5

 

I think they lose to Caps or Pens in the finals

Outside of Anaheim. ..I never figured one of these four ....Ana, StL, Nash, or Edm will play for the cup

[Ghostsof1915]

This is like asking do you want to be shot, or snakebit?

 

Ducks in 7. 

 

[DollarAndADream]

Man, crazy that none of these Western games went to 7 games, and 2 were sweeps with one being the Hawks on the receiving end.

 

I think the Oilers have a strong chance here, especially after taking out San Jose, I have higher hopes for them in beating Anaheim. Hard to say, however. I think it depends on how Gibson plays, mostly.

[Apples]

Ducks in 6

I said Ducks in 7.

This series has the makings of a bloodbath, You know Kesler and Perry will gun for McDavid triggering Lucic.

Oilers in 6

[Master Mind]

I'm thinking the Oilers will follow the Hawks model in reaching the WCF in their 1st year of playoff action.

 

Oilers in 7. They took out one of my favourites in Hansen, they'll likely take out two more...

[Herpaderp]

Kassquatch will unload but I'm pretty sure Anaheim can keep up with the Oiler's speed! Ducks in 6!

[Rush17]

I wonder what Kesler will say to Kassian to throw him off his game.

 

will be a fun series.  Anas physically could be a problem for Edmonton but I have to think their speed and decent size themselves should be able to beat them. 

 

hard to say but I'm guessing Oilers in 6.  anas speed is my concern.  Kesler, cogliano, silverfberg and rakell are quick but perry and Getzlaf ant anything special in terms of speed.   will likely come down to who controls possession when Getzlaf and perry are on the ice.

 

Kesler is going to have a hell of a time but he is one of the best defensive forwards in the game.  I think it will largely depend on how his linemate support him in defending McDavids speed.

 

exciting times.  if edm wins the aura of physical big teams dominating will be broken.  and the speed game will take over once again.

[McDavyCrockett]

Anaheim had to rely on ridiculous puck luck, Elliott being a sieve, and Calgary's "Ponda curse" mental block just to win the 1st round.

 

Even with Fowler and Vatanen, this will be a tight series.

 

Oilers in 6 because of Talbot. He's gonna go 06 Roloson, me feels.

No it won't. The Oilers are one of the most physical, big teams in the league.

Oilers are known for speed.  first and foremost.  Ana doesn't back down if you pick a fight. they use a pack mentality.  I'm not sure edm is ready for that.  lucic will step up but will Kass over a 7 game series.

 

ferland never worked for Calgary because 1 or 2 guys can't stop Ana.  edms speed may be the solution along with their physical tools.
