Morning Gents and Jules 
So let's have a discussion about the WC Final.
Dallas was 2-0-1 vs Oil in the regular season, and 1-1 at home. While 2 of the 3 went over, this is now the playoffs. The Oilers had 12 PP opportunities in those 3 games and only potted ONE goal. Dallas with a 91.67% PK in those 3 games. On the flip side, Dallas had 8 PP's and potted 4 goals. When you look at the last 10 meetings between these 2 teams, it has been close (Oil 5-5 and Stars 5-3-2).
So here are some questions/concerns/comments. For the Oil, they have to find more scoring from the bottom 6. Hell, they need to find more scoring from McJesus as he only had one goal vs Nucks. Is one to think Bouchard can continue with his scoring pace? Hell, look at Dallas's 3rd line: Dadonov, Seguin and Marchment. That could be the Oil's second line. Oil needs help with secondary scoring...Evander, where are you at? Read where Tanev has shut down Eickel and McKinnon for the most part in the first 2 rounds, now his job becomes a little harder. Did see where he is avg. 24 minutes a night in SC playoffs. What will be the status of Hintz?
Sorry, no doubt in net who has the edge. Otter is 8-2 in the playoffs with a 2.09 GAA and .918%. Skinner is 7-3 with 2.87 GAA and .881%. And I would inject that Otter has face a more stern test vs Knights and Avs vs Kings and Nucks.
Anything is possible, it is why you play the game, but Dallas has so much more depth than the Oil. If the Oil are going to advance, McJesus must step up his game and the secondary scoring has to improve. I look at both conference series very similar. Dallas and Florida play similar games while the Ranger and Oil rely on their PP to jump start the team.
Well, fill in the blanks. Thoughts?
I do have Dallas for the series at -130.
Come on man, I have become a Panther fan the last several years. Just like their style of play.
