I'm going with Edmonton.

I feel Calgary/Edmonton are stacked pretty evenly at practically every positions. Just look at their records: 10-6 vs 9-7. Individually, Calgary does have the players in key positions with plenty of playoff experience before so that won't be much of a factor. So the edge is down to the intangibles:

1) Edmonton will collapse on their own weight. They have all this supposed "paper talent" and a ruddle not big enough to steer the giant ship. The ruddle being the coaching staff.

2) Calgary seems to have better team cohesion. Has anyone ever seen a player walking along the sideline tapping everyone on the shoulder like Burris did last Sunday? I mean he was encouraging everyone in sight including the water boy. True leader. Ray on the other hand is probably mulling at his lost opportunity down south right now and doesn't seem to have the same desire as Burris.

3) As a team, Edmonton doesn't seem to be as hungry as Calagary having "been there, done that, got the t-shirt" enough times before.

So in brief, coaching and a hungry team/leader, a la the Flames 2 years ago.

Ruddle = A rudder for the huddle?
