Probably the Oilers
Caps are a much better team that the Sens and the Pens are making short work of them
Caps are also a much better team than the Oilers.

They're getting absolutely curbed stomped in shots on goal.
That bubble is going to burst eventually.
The Pens are not winning the Cup unless we see a dramatic turnaround in play.
So you just admitted you were wrong immediately. Thank you for that. Another moron i can ignore.

Edmonton's speed would give anyone fits. That is why Vegas has installed the Oilers as the favorite to win it all*

Oilers. That's it. They are the only team who has the speed and firepower to skate with the Pens.
I would like to as well. Especially Phu. Remember when Thornton (who's basically dead) beat out Oilers to the puck? Laughable.
I mean they've played the #1 and #4 overall seeds in two rounds.
Nashville has the D to keep pace with their forwards.
Their depth is pretty even as well.
Top end skill obviously favors PIT, but it's not like the Forsberg line has been any slouch.
Difference will come down to goaltending.
No, which play was that?
I remember players like Slepyshev (breakaway) and Draisaitl (breakaway) and of course, McDavid. Nurse had wheels, Klefbom had a 100.5mph shot (assisted by his quick entry into the play,) and players like Kassian, who's speed and size were impressive (not to mention the game winning goals.)
I don't really remember the Thorton play.
IF Ottawa can get by the Rangers, then I'm sure it would be a close series.
The Sens played the Pens close during the season, I'm sure it would continue.
Slep breakaway was a misplay. Not even Larkin is catching him there.
Drai got caught but used his generation butt to keep the defender away.
Nurse and Kassian are fast, I'll give you that.
It's a weird year. As a Sens fan I'd almost be rooting for a graceful exit in either the 2nd round or conference finals. But the West looks beatable to me. I mean, not that they'd be favorites but it wouldn't be like playing Chicago in their prime. There's a chance. Against unproven teams like Edmonton, Nashville, or St. Louis. As an underdog.
Meanwhile the Penguins will be lurking there in the conference finals like trolls under the bridge and they're gonna club you to death even if you make it that far. No one in the East is beating the Penguins, I don't think.
Maybe Edmonton with some offensive magic, in the finals, and Talbot, but I have my doubts.
Nashville has the D to keep pace with their forwards.

If Ottawa makes it through i think we could see a very interesting series. I know i am bias but something feel special around this Ottawa team to me.
Logically i don't think we have any chance vs the pens but at the same time i find myself not worried. I am oddly(considering he is basically on one leg) confident Karlsson can carry us through.
I'm a big Sens fan, but a series against Pittsburgh would not be close at all. The Penguins would light us up quite easily.
Slep breakaway was a misplay. Not even Larkin (fastest player in the NHL) is catching him there.
