While I respect San Jose, I consider Edmonton to be the superior team. The Oilers have led by two goals twice in the series, but only are 1-1 to show for it.

However, the Oilers have the superior offense - especially with Joe Thornton still having yet to play for San Jose - and have the hotter goalie in Cam Talbot. The Sharks also can't match Connor McDavid.

The Oilers have been playing excellent thockey going 13-3 in their last 16 games. The Sharks have dropped 10 of their last 14 games against Western Conference foes.
