Could the Oilers buck the usual trend and get a Bettman boost of their own to keep this series competitive? It wouldn't surprise me but I'll still take Colorado in 5.

[PistolPete13]

This should be quick and painless. Avs in five. Smith is going to get lit up, like it’s Christmas. 

[Jaimito]

Both goalies are a wash, but Smith has a bigger potential for gaffes. 

 

Up front, talent is about equal. 

Avs D are likely to score more. 

 

Avs in 5.

Avs in 5, Smith and Koskinen about to get lit up

[Elias Pettersson]

Connor McDavid after the first game of the series:

 

”We scored 8 goals, it should have been good enough to win this game”…

Av’s Are going to light up Smith, but this will be high scoring and entertaining. McDavid and Drysitel lit up Markstrom for 29 points in 5 games.

Lit up like it's Marky 

[Gnarcore]

And now Edmonton must play a real team. Avs in 5. 

[YEGCanuck]

The Avs need to understand the sucess of the Oil starts with McDick. Contain him or otherwise neutralize the beast and you will move -on. 

[24K PureCool]

Avs, finish them!

[You Mad Bro?]

[Ghostsof1915]

If Smith plays like the last round. It will be over early.

I don't trust either team's defense or goaltending.

 

Going into the playoffs, I expected a Tampa/Colorado final, so I'm sticking with that, but I don't think it'll be as much of a cake walk for the Avs as many are expecting.

[King Heffy]

Oilers will be lucky to win a single game.  Colorado has better top players, depth, defence, goaltending, coaching, and leadership.  Edmonton is going to get exposed playing against an actual NHL team.

[Beary Sweet]

Avs in 7. Oilers will make it interesting but Avs will prevail when it’s all said and done

[Toni Zamboni]

Coilers in 6
