I'll take the home ice advantage, N.C.

As an Oilers fan I'd rather play the Sabers. I think the Oilers would have a better chance of hoisting the Stanley cup for the 6th time in 26 seasons if they play Buffalo. Having said that, I'd say that Carolina will win, but that's not a given by any means. Both possible series' would be tremendous, but I HATE the 10 days off or so that the Oil had to endure. Tomorrow nights game should be great as there's nothing better than a game 7 in the NHL.
