After watching regular season hockey the past couple weeks, I'll take any playoff hockey.

You're not into Fabian Zetterlin?

I'm just saying, I think if we ranked all eight playoff series, I might consider Avs Kings just because it's probably going to be the least competitive as the worst one.

But from an entertainment value perspective, I'd probably have the Sens Kings.

Yes, I saw that.

I think it'll probably lead round one in goals scored.

I would probably have Habs lightning, number one, because it feels like it's more consequential.

But I think that's totally fair.

I agree with you.

This Ducks team is incapable of playing a low-scoring, boring game.

And we know the Oilers will indulge shenanigans in the playoffs.

And so I think it's going to be a great one.

I think if that happens, though, it's incredibly bearish about the Ducks in terms of how the Oilers view them.

Because the past couple postseasons, the Oilers have generally, like, buttoned things down, especially on their way through the West, and, like, taken it in a pretty workmanlike attitude, and they haven't engaged in a lot of those.

It's been a lot of, like, crisp short passing and grinding out games on the forecheck.

And so if they're that loosey-goosey like they are in the regular season, that's not a good look for the Ducks.

I think the range of outcomes has become wider.

I think the high end is probably a little bit higher.

Yeah, I think their best game is probably better than Stuart Skinner, who's a league average, but the floor is below zero.

Yeah, I think that's fair.
