I can't list my 2nd main keeper as there are too many players, but it is a keep all H2H points-only league

Oil in 7.. I can see a few lopsided games for both teams throughout. I'm predicting an emotional rollercoaster.

Oilers in 6
12 teams dynasty, Points only ( G and A = 1pt)
F: McDavid (12.5M), Kucherov (9.5M), Boldy (7M), Kyrou (8.13M), J. Norris (7.95M), Zegras (5.95M), Kuzmenko (5.5M), Reichel (0.925M), P. Kane (2.75M), Lundell (0.925M), Rasmussen (1.46M), Rossi (0.86M).
D: Korchinski (0.925M), Byram (3.85M), Burns (5.28M).
G: Kochetkov (2M), Shesterkin (5,670M).
Bench: E. Karlsson (10M), Lucius (0.925M), Edvinsson (0.89M), Askarov (0.925M), Quinn (0.86M), Berggren (0.925M), Stankoven (0.81M), Knight (4.5M), Mitchkov (TBD), Athanasiou (4.25M), Samsonov (3.55M), Klingberg (4.15M).
Going to be a physical series for sure. I'd expect low scoring with Kesler focusing on McDavid and RNH focusing on Getzlaf. Talbot was excellent in 5 of 6 games in the 1st round in his own first playoff games.
I've got the Oilers in 6.

I think the Oilers are going to win, but I do think Anaheim is better than the Sharks. It should be close. Oil in 7.

I'm surprised the vote is even right now... figured Ducks would be huge favourites.

ANA can't match their speed and youth. I also have more faith in Talbot than Gibson.
Oilers in 6.
Went to bed nice and early last night so I'm ready to stay up for this one!
my hockey pool could use some mcdavid to maroon combo's over the next 10-14 days. Sprinkle in a Talbot SO or two....

Maroon is supposed to be lined up on the top line again to start the series so you might get your wish.
Top faceoff team against the last placed faceoff team. Such an overrated part of hockey that has little to no impact on the actual outcome of a game.
How does the saying go? Possession is 9/10ths the law. I mean it's not the same type of possession game as football or basketball, but it's still important. That said it's over glorified by some as well.
I'm watching for McDavid to take a Crosby like approach with this in the next couple years and seriously improve his draws.
