They can not start the game being shelled by the Kings and being down. Balance is out the window at this point. It's win or your done, period. The Oilers scored 3 goals, almost scored 4 goals in the 3rd going nuclear. If going nuclear gives you a chance to get off to a good start and hopefully get a lead, I think you do it. Then hopefully when you get up and force the Kings not to just sit back and line up 3-4 at the blueline, you can worry about balanced lines.

We’ve seen this pony show before. For short stints, this nuclear weapon can work. We've also recently seen, OT last game as most recent example, that they can get absolutely caved in their own zone. For that reason, if you want to go Nuclear, they are better served with JP on their right side as someone who POSITIVELY affects zone time.

JP can't handle the puck at the moment so until he gets that sorted out and I think it's all mental for him, he shouldn't be in the top 6. They need guys who are going and he is not one of them at the moment.
