That said, probably don't play in Anaheim til Thursday or later, and that does give ample time for the boys to rest up and get healthy. No one appears to have any physical injuries beyond bumps and bruises which is fantastic news.

In a square off between a healthy Oilers verses a healthy Ducks, it's definitely close but I'll take the Oilers. However, Anaheim has the bonus of home ice, and the fact that the refs will probably turn a completely blind eye to all of Perry's and Kesler's BS that you just know they're going to pull, definitely gives Anaheim an edge. Will be a fun series, that is for sure.

for that I hope the Ducks kick you guys right there ... typical Oiler fan
