Different feeling this spring. It's like knowing of the Oilers can play the way they've demonstrated they can play for long stretches, they can defeat anyone.
No longer are we worried that our bottom 6 is going to get caved in. Our bottom 6 now stacks up favorably against almost anyone.
No longer are we worried about losing battles and getting pushed around. Ain't gonna happen. They regularly beat other teams to loose pucks and win battles down the lineup.
Nurse healthy, LD healthy. Nothing big out there that's hindering performance.
Their skill will be a difference maker in tight games.
I think the only potential loose end is between the pipes if the starter falters, but that could be said for most if not all teams in the playoffs.
We've seen in the past that a great team doesn't always punch a ticket to the SCF and win, but this year kinda has that spring of '83...maybe spring of '84 feeling.
