If both teams deliver their best games, the Oilers win.
Let's hope the Oilers deliver their best game of the playoffs. Play well defensively, take the game to them...defend by playing in their end, earn calls.
Hyman not being able to skate well concerns me. He's probably only had a couple good games in the playoffs, but it's really noticeable if you dont have him or he's only at 75%.
|
It's times like these that I remember that James Van Riemsdyk was available for next to nothing at the trade deadline and our GM was busy trying to move up his press conference a couple hours so he could start his weekend early...
|
Yeah, useful player. The Oilers have a pretty strong forward group but if a couple go down, you start with Shore and Holloway. I probably find a place for Holloway in the lineup over Shore if need be.
|
Holloway would be my preference too if we have to insert someone - especially if you're trying to replace Hyman in the lineup. That said, probably a short leash. Holloway wasn't particularly impactful earlier this season, and has had some injury struggles of his own.
I wish we'd addressed the forward depth a little more, because it just isn't unforeseeable that you're going to get some bumps and bruises in the playoffs, and our depth could have stood to be improved even when everyone is healthy.
FWIW, I disagree with those clamouring for Yamamoto to be sat. I think he wasn't a problem last game and I don't think he's been the weakest link at forward - not even close. To me, he's just another person who Oilers fans have decided to jump all over because he's not sitting at 10 points yet. People need to settle down on that stuff.
Not sure I'd sit Broberg over Desharnais either, but every coach has their blindspot. The six defenceman system worries me a little bit given that it means less options if the big fella struggles.

Half hour from puck drop and all of Hyman, Janmark and Broberg are taking warm up...
