That game sucked but important to remember in the playoffs - you can't get too high over the wins, or too low on the losses. This is a marathon not a sprint.
There's a couple of things that I think are good for the Oilers.
1) We got our heads absolutely caved in in that game. The Avs completely dominated just about every aspect of it. Blowouts in the playoffs often bring a big reaction. The Avs completely pasted the Oilers in 1998, and were never the same after they did that. Everyone probably remembers Game 6 of the Finals in 2006 too...we were absolutely dominant, but it didn't matter once the next game started.
2) Their fans chanted "We want the Cup." That's something I always feel is almost always too early, but to do it when you still have two more games against this opponent? Well, looking too far forward tends to catch up to teams. I hope they're feeling like they're almost there tonight. It'll make them susceptible to taking us too lightly.
We're also playing at home in front of the rabid Edmonton crowds and maybe, just maybe, this was enough to get our coach to finally make some lineup changes. Archibald barely played after that third goal against - maybe Woodcroft has finally seen enough and we can see Holloway make his start. I'd also like to see the 7D, because adding Broberg brings a little more speed, and can take some minutes from Keith and Nurse...both of whom are struggling so far in this one.
As much as he's not my favourite starter ever, I still think if I'm coach I go back to Smith at this point. He didn't lose that game and I don't have a big issue with any of the goals against tonight. He made a lot more big saves tonight than on Tuesday.
Saturday is a huge, huge game. But if we win, then we still have a pretty decent chance.
