I'd be demanding my players to take healthy runs at Ehlers and Dubios early and often. There own teammates were literally not allowed to touch them 2 days ago in a morning skate. I don't see how they go from don't get close to them to completely healthy and fully ready for contact in 2 days.

Exactly.. make them hear footsteps.. all game.
You can add Pionk and a few others to that list..

Hopefully the coaching staff has more sense than this.
The Oilers arent built for heavy hockey. They didnt get to the playoffs on heavy hockey.
If they try to do this now it will lead to a loss, damn near guaranteed. Play physical sure, but if they start trying to target players they are;
1. Likely to take penalties, 2. not going to score many goals 3. get scored on first and be playing from behind all the time.
All of this equals heading to WPG down 2-0
The Oilers advantage over teams is speed. Why would they try to slow the game down with a physical style that doesnt suit them? The myth that you have to increase hits and play more physical if you want a cup is BS.
Play is tighter and gets more physical but there is a difference between forechecking a little harder or playing your man a little tighter and running guys.
Lastly, if the Oilers start that kind of style they dont have the horses to back it up. If this turns into a scrappy, piles of scrums, push and shove series the Oilers are double screwed.
The team isnt tough and trying to pretend they are would be a sign of panic. They are the more skilled team, they should be controlling the flow and pace of the game and have the Jets holding on and trying to keep up.
|
All they have to do is finish checks, like Archibald, reduce Wpg's time to think, cause errors, Dubois isn't 100%, test his resolve to compete through injury.
|
That I am ok with. Asking people to finish checks should be part of being a hockey player for many guys. Some just arent the type and are what they are but for most guys that is just proper hockey.
My issue is with people implying that crash and bang hockey should be the new team identity and it just isnt going to happen.
