Top NHL analyst Mike Kelly and Sportlogiq have been the most successful analysts at predicting playoff outcomes in the last 2 years, and now have settled on the Oilers beating Florida in 7 Games.
The Oilers have found themselves as underdogs heading into the first 3 rounds of playoffs this year, but now are finally getting the respect they deserve from the hockey world.
Top NHL analysts predict Oilers to win Stanley Cup in 7 game series
Sportlogiq is a private NHL analytics company that provides cutting-edge data directly to teams, but is also showing some new insights to fans. Last year, they predicted Florida winning in 7 games - now they're taking Edmonton in 7.
Kelly and Sportlogiq predicted all 8 playoff series correctly last season, but this season they weren't so successful. Originally, Sportlogiq had Los Angeles taking out Edmonton in the first round. Oh, how things change.
The Edmonton Oilers had their fair share of doubters entering the playoffs for so many reasons - injuries and goaltending being the biggest concerns.
However, the cliche was true that as the playoffs began, the Oilers flipped a switch. After losing the first 2 games to Los Angeles, Edmonton has gone in a 12-2 run to eliminate three legit cup contenders already.
The Oilers have been proving the analysts wrong the entire way so far, but now the hockey world is realizing what's happening in Edmonton. They're a full team coming together laser focused on winning a Cup. It looks like a team of destiny that will be unstoppable in their quest for the first Stanley Cup in the McDavid era.
