Maf with no home ice advantage either which is a frightening thought for me since he's brutal on the road.

Should be an entertaining series though as always.

I don't care that the Oilers have to face the Ducks, I'm just happy we've made it this far. And if the Oilers advance to the WCF and SCF, I won't care who we face because again, I'll be happy we made it that far.

Just saying there are some Sharks fans that are happy to take an early exit, because a series with the Ducks is not what the players' bodies need right now.

The Oilers eliminated the sharks with a hot goalie, Jones is ranked 4th in the playoffs at 1.70gaa. Gibson had a 2.60 gaa against Calgary.

If the Oilers do to Gibson what they did to Jones, and Talbot does to the Ducks what he did to the rest of the Sharks, they're going to come out on top in at least 10 periods, hopefully in the right places.
