RDOilerfan wrote on Fri, 27 May 2022 13:40 | This series to me showed the difference in teams.
The Oilers are a team that are accustom to winning games when their goalie isn't great. It took them a few seasons but they have learned to shake bad goals off and to keep coming. At times so far Smith was amazing, at times Smith was just OK and at times Smith was bad. The Oilers kept finding ways to come back and more times than not when they weren't getting the saves, to find a way to win. Who ever they play next, it will be tough but I feel like they have a legit chance regardless if they get amazing goaltending or not.
The Flames on the other hand. Last year Markstrom wasn't that good and they missed the playoffs all together with the bulk of this years team already there. This season Markstrom had a career year. Blowing his career average numbers out of the water, being a vezina nominee and the Flames cruised.
Playoffs hit. Smith gives the Oilers up and down goaltending but is better than Markstrom and the Oilers cruise to a 4-1 series win. Markstrom is below average the whole series, even pretty lousy in their 1 win and the Flames get smoked.
What I found interesting also is during the season and going into the playoffs, it was all about the Flames. Flames are so deep, they are so good, goalie is so good, etc, etc. Then I look at the standings. Oilers had lots of long injuries to key guys, Flames had none. The Oilers had up and down goaltending Flames got vezina nominee goaltending. The Flames finished only 7 pts better than the Oilers, the Oilers only had 1 less win than the Flames and the other 6 pts the Flames had on the Oilers were Bettman loser points. So maybe the Flames weren't that much better than the Oilers.

Career years from Johnny (contract year), Tkachuk (contract year) and Markstrom were huge for the Lames this year. All 3 of those guys were mediocre after game 1 of the series. Johnny was too busy throwing pucks away to avoid checks and shooting from terrible angles to avoid being touched. Tkachuk, I think our players just ghosted him and he couldn't get anything going. His energy level is almost completely dependent on getting reactions to his trolling. Our reaction to him just stopped. Marky, probably rattled in that first game and just never got his game back together. Maybe he learns from this series, but he was basically Kostko the whole series.
Never know what you're getting in a series. I don't think anyone could have predicted how wide open it was and how much scoring there was after the series the Flames just had, and even ours against the Kings. Quick had some amazing games against us and you would have been crazy to predict Marky's game just falling off after his first round.
Next series is definitely going to be a totally different beast. St Louis will be riding on McDavid's back as much as they can. Maybe Binnington comes back and plays similar to Quick. Colorado has a 2-3 line attack and a great shutdown pair of D to play McDavid. Kuemper has been shaky but who knows what he would do against us. Just hoping that St Louis and Colorado beat the hell out of each other for 2 more games.
