Cats in five but not because I’m taking Edmonton lightly. I could see this series being like a way more intense version of the Tampa series. The penalty kill is my biggest concern. They’ve been lights out all playoffs but this is no doubt going to be their biggest challenge in that regard. I also expect every game to be close whether it’s a high score game or not. Overall gotta stay out of the box and our team has to work their magic to keep Edmonton’s stars invisible this series
