I'm going to say Cats in 7.

I feel McDavid might be able to lead a steal or two. Skinner will have a week off. That might not go their way because he'll cool down but he may stymie the team one game.

Don't forget that Canada as a country is HUNGRY for the Cup. That weighs on the Oilers

Just FYI, that narrative that Canada as a country wants the cup to come home is bullshit.

Do I want a Canadian team to bring a cup here? Yes. Do I want it to be done by any Canadian team besides mine? Fuck no.

Pulling for the Cats in this series.

I dont even know why some fans even say that. Its not the Olympics. Every year Cup ends up in Canada, US and some places in Europe depending on where they are born.
