The radio says Janmark is out for the series. So I guess we got the 11/7 or 12/6 answer?

Kempe shot.

We took so many runs at Kempe in that first period, he was starting to look over his shoulder every time he was near the boards. Then while we started to chip away at our own game be scores 2 goals on us and takes Janmark out of the series.

Hits are great, but actually playing the game and making good plays is so much better.

I didn't get a chance on here to note how Kane basically played like Lucic in that first game. Hand grenade passing, bad turnovers, dumb penalties. But sure he got a couple good hits. Hopefully we get better from him tonight, along with others.

I’d honestly swap Kane and Nuge.

I would not swap Kane and Nuge. The Leon line was the best line on the ice for the Oilers by a mile and Kane was part of that. I know people like to dwell on that 20 game stretch 2 or 3 years ago when in the regular season Nuge, Leon, Yamo were unreal but anytime it's been put together since, I don't think the line has been very good. Plus if you take Kane off Leon's line, who is the guy to go into the corners, battle and get the puck? That's not Nuge. So 5'8 Yamo has to be the guy battling in the corners for Leon and Nuge? McD has Hyman to go get the puck for him, Leon needs someone.

If people want to bring up penalties on Kane, then they better bring up Bouchard's penalty with 2 mins left. That was a penalty and a really stupid, costly one.

Bouch's penalty was bad. Young player letting emotions get the best of him when he saw Moore coming, who he was PO'd at for earlier. Thought he could get an extra hard shot on him and up the stick bounces into his face off the shoulder. Desharnais, another young guy, desperation swing at the puck/player after getting beat unaware that player was actually going to be covered anyways.

Young guys have time to learn. Bouch had a load of good contributions in the game which was nice to see too. Desharnais, I think the lad is just gonna be in survival mode most of these playoffs :) Kane already tens of millions in take home pay into his career, gotta expect a bit better, and I think he will be better.
