If Leon isn't 100%, this is a game the Oilers really need Nuge to step up.
Longest serving Oiler. Says he really wants to win. Just like last playoff, he hasn't been bad. He's been OK. Nuge being Nuge, that whole narrative. Last year he had 1 goal, 11 pts in 12 games. This playoff, 1 goal, 8 pts in 6 games. But he's never had a playoff where he elevated and played great. Hyman is having a fantastic playoff. He's clearly elevated his play. Teams that win have guys who elevate their games in the playoffs. Nuge badly needs to.

Ha ha ha...are you suggesting that a point a game pace or better isn't that good?
I will agree that Nuge hasn't had to really drive a line with the Oilers but he's been a really good complimentary player. It will be incumbent on him to drive a line if Draisaitl is out - something we just haven't asked him to do in a long time. Have not heard Leon is out though...hopefully he gives him great support still.
I would like more from RNH (and a lot of others) at even strength though. We've won the first series on the back of our special teams, which is why Tocchet is trying really hard to discourage anyone from calling penalties. As we get deeper in the post-season, we have to expect that the impetus for even strength excellence is just going to increase.
Would really like to see the team keep the killer instinct too...no more trying to choke the life out of a game and win 1-0. We're just not built to be a good trap team and it's asking for trouble any time we try, especially since the goalie isn't exactly the next coming of Hasek.
