The Oilers will know this storm is coming and decide to come out even harder. I don't see any reason why the Oilers would let an undermanned Jets team come out harder than them at the gate.

Man, I'd really like to see another dominant performance last night. My real hope is that we can get Paul Maurice over-thinking things when it comes to the playoff series. I would love to see at least a couple games where Adam Lowry has more minutes than any other Jets forward.

It is a little odd how he plays some guys. They trade Laine, a proven goal scorer for Dubios to be their second line center I assume. Now I know he has taken some time to get going but he played barely over 13 mins with basically zero PP time. You'd think they would want to get him going heading into the playoffs.

You've gotta earn your ice time. Doesn't matter what he did in Columbus, this is a new team. It's like when Selanne went to Colorado. Sure they could've just slapped him into a top line scoring role and won some cups, but instead the coach taught him some important life lessons and Selanne went on to have great success in Anaheim.

I must be too far removed from competitive sports. When I was still athletic, my coaches always put me and my teams in positions to succeed. I simply don't understand modern coaches at the highest level of sport endlessly sending message by fighting pointless little battles against their own players.

If you don't fight those battles and just put players in a spot to be successful, there is a definite danger that the media credits the players and not you as the coach for their success.
If you publicly challenge players, it's really can't lose as the coach. Either they perform and you take credit, or they falter and you can label them a loser and say you were the first to know.
And if they go somewhere else and succeed, the local media will still support you and the team's decision to cut bait forever because that loser never would have developed here.
