Their problem is they played 5v4 5v3 for 30%~ of the game last night. Don't care that McDavid or Draisaital are the best in the league, any offense isn't getting work done like that.
Honestly don't think the Avs looks much better than the Flames, the only exception being Goalie as Markstrom obviously did not look like himself what so ever.
Yea the Avs are playing disciplined hockey knowing full well what happened to the Flames when they let McDavid and company go on the PP 3-5 times a game.
The Avs goaltending and defense are playing better then the Oilers and it shows.
That being said they are both 1-2 line teams more so 1.5 as all of their offensive production comes from 3 players...
Assuming the Lightning are back in the Stanley Cup for a 3rd time I just don't think Edmonton/Colorado have the goaltending and veteran experience to win it all. They would need McDavid or McKinnon to put the whole team in their backpack
