I think forwards is advantage Oilers. Our top forwards are demonstrably more productive than a group of Eichel, Stephenson, Marchessault, and gimp Stone.
Vegas has quite a defense. Pietrangelo is probably the best D from both teams. Bouchard and Theodore could be comparable. They have a solid 6 whereas we have a weak point in Desharnais.
We will need Skinner to outdo Brossoit/Hill/Quick. Seems like this could be the difference. I hope goalie coach Schwartz remembers the weak points in Brossoit’s game.
Cassidy will be a much tougher match than McLellan. Woodcroft has taken down McLellan and Sutter, two predictable and unadaptable coaches. I expect Vegas to have some much more pragmatic plans for us. Woodcroft will need to be sharp. I hope we go back to splitting Draisaitl and McDavid. I don’t think the last half of the LA series was our best half, despite the results.
Clean house or bust
