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.

True. Although Bouchard looked dangerous on every shift. Impactful game with a ginormous mistake. I like that he’s not being a wallflower, but some controlled aggression will look good on him.

Meanwhile McLeod was still doing fly by’s. I don’t get that kid? He’s missing one huge element from becoming a semi-star player.

I agree about Bouchard, I thought he had a very good game that was in my opinion very much tarnished by a pretty stupid error on his part. I hope/suspect he learned a pretty valuable lesson and it won't happen again.

I agree with you on McLeod. The guy has the size, speed, skill to be one of the premiere 3rd line centers in the NHL. But the guy seriously needs to grow a set and stop playing like such a wussy. You don't have to run around trying to hit everything that moves and trying to fight guys but drive the freaking net. Go into the corners and get the puck, no fly by's. If he was a player that had an elite shot and could score from distance, fine. He doesn't. Go to the paint!!!
