I tend to agree with this assessment:
https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey /greatest-failing-of-edmonton-oilers-in-2020-playoffs-nhl-co mmentator-nails-it
Basically that our D are not good enough to allow our forwards to be flying the zone, looking for stretch passes or one of our D to be skating the puck out of the zone. No kidding...but we didn't seem to want to acknowledge this.
I keep looking back at what the Pens did when they switched from Bylsma(king of the endless stretch passes)/Johnston to Sullivan. He made those forwards stay in the zone and help out the D. Grinding to win back pucks, ensuring guys were open to give their D multiple options. This was especially a must for their 2nd win as they had a whole bunch of mediocre D playing every night with Letang out. But, worked out fine. A guy like Lovejoy never missed a beat.
Obviously the Pens forwards were a lot deeper, hence being able to win a cup with a mediocre D group. Not really expecting that from this team. But, I do at least expect us to play to our strengths, and making guys like Nurse try to make 2 zone passes all night, or even 40 ft passes to guys camping near the blue line...it's just dumb and we paid for being stretched out in our zone looking for winning back pucks and starting the transition to always come easy.
Obviously the best way to fix this is to actually get some good D that can make good passes under pressure. Badly need at least Bouchard to pan out soon.
