Travis, don't get me wrong. I'll be cheering for that "other" Alberta team
, but watching the final few Oilers games down the stretch really scared me off of their chances -- especially the final game against the Flames. The amount of defensive lapses against an awful team was not something I'd want to see going into the playoffs. Outside of Laraque, they looked absolutely brutal, and if any of that crap caries over, they'll be eaten alive by Dallas - even sans Guerin and Turgeon.
I hope they'll upset, but I don't see it happening. No team with a rookie coach and rookie goalie (first-time starter in the playoffs goalie) has won the cup but I think Tippett and Turco are for real and certainly with a good enough supporting cast to get by Edmonton.
