So Oilers getting a bit more love from the pundits for the finals.
14 of 23 at ESPN going with the Oilers:
Sean Allen: Panthers in six
Blake Bolden: Oilers in seven
John Buccigross: Oilers in seven
Ryan Callahan: Oilers in six
Cassie Campbell-Pascall: Oilers in seven
Sachin Chandan: Oilers in six
Meghan Chayka: Oilers in seven
Ryan S. Clark: Oilers in seven
Rachel Doerrie: Panthers in six
Emily Kaplan: Oilers in seven
Tim Kavanagh: Oilers in six
Peter Lawrence-Riddell: Panthers in six
Steve Levy: Oilers in seven
Vince Masi: Oilers in five
Victoria Matiash: Panthers in seven
Sean McDonough: Oilers in seven
Mark Messier: Oilers in seven
AJ Mleczko: Panthers in six
Arda Öcal: Oilers in six
Kristen Shilton: Panthers in seven
John Thoering: Panthers in seven
Bob Wischusen: Panthers in seven
Greg Wyshynski: Panthers in six
(So on my drive in to work this morning they had Greg Wyshynski on air, who said he's picking the Oilers in seven--yet here he's listed with the Panthers. Must have recently changed his mind).
The NHL website is split right down the middle with 8 out of 16 going with the Oilers.

Money Puck has the Panthers as 55%-45% favourites:

I think it's almost indisputable that the Oilers and Panthers were the two best teams in the playoffs this year. Neither has had home ice in any series.
Other random notes:
Good news: the Oilers have home ice!
Bad news: the team with home ice went 0-6 in the last two rounds. They did go 6-2 in round 1 with the two exceptions being--you guessed it--Florida and Edmonton.
I feel way more confident going into this final than I did last year. Seeing the Oilers business like dismantling of Dallas followed by the muted celebration, I'm having a hard time seeing them lose this final.
I'll go with Oilers in 5.
