Reinvented, reinvigorated, ready to rumble, the Ducks and the Oilers are starting their series. These two teams have really come into their own and look killer up and down the ice. The veteran Ducks were able to eliminate the young Flames, while the young Oilers were able to eliminate the veteran Sharks. Funny enough, the last time the Oilers were in the playoffs, they eliminated the Ducks in the western conference finals to move onto the Stanley Cup finals. While the Oilers lost to the Hurricanes, the old embers of rivalry are still there between Edmonton and Anaheim, and this series might reignite that flame. Let’s take a look to see how both teams chances of winning this series.
Talk about cutting it close. Even though the Ducks were able to eliminate the Flames in four games, they sure kept the games neck and neck. There were able to win in overtime in game four, but the Flames still kept right behind the Ducks the whole series. The key for the Ducks is to always keep the edge over the Oilers, as Edmonton has proven they can eliminate playoff veteran teams. Anaheim should not underestimate this young team and throw everything they have at the Oilers if they want to win this series. The Ducks are used to fast-paced hockey and have great players on their roster to keep this young team at bay. Anaheim is not looking to have a repeat of the last time they faced the Oilers, so get ready for the Ducks to come full force.
You have to give credit where credit is due. The Oilers did make work of the Sharks. But, I still think this series will prove how great this team really is. I have said in the past how the Sharks seem to choke year after year so a real competitor like the Ducks will bring out how great the Oilers can be. By winning this series they will clear up a lot of doubt and show they are not just a first round fluke. The Oilers should also go far, seeing as they were able to get four first overall picks 2010-2012 and again in 2015. This is a young team that can really reclaim their mark back in the hockey world. The Wayne Gretzky years put this team on the map, yet they seemed to decay after their 1990 Stanley Cup win. Winning this series will truly bring a resurgence to Edmonton and help them reclaim their hockey titan title. Even if they lose this series, they can still carry the momentum into next season, and then this might be the team to beat in the coming seasons.
This series will be well fought and you do not want to miss any second of it, so check below to see how you can view this game.
