Avs D is vulnerable in their own end.. need to keep them there with a strong forecheck and cycle.. Oil offense needs to get a strong start.. up to now Avs have adjusted for slower, lesser skilled forwards in Nashville and St.Louis compared to Oilers top 6.. need to put Avs on their heels until they can adjust to it, which hopefully will be at least the 1st game.. for an Oil win!

Just remembered that Josh Manson plays for the Avs. I hope he knows that he could walk right into a scouting position with the Oilers if he chose to retire right now. Pretty sure Director of Pro Scouting, Archie Henderson, doesn't have a parent or sibling working for the organization so he's easily replaceable.

17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
