With Neal and Chaisson out they're quicker.. but smaller, although if you're slow, size isn't able to really contribute, so might be a wash.

This is what I have been harping on all along. Can the playoffs be a place to win with heavy, crash and bang hockey? Yep
If you dont have the horses and get sucked into that kind of game it is a gameplan for a loss 10 out of 10 times.
The Oilers arent built that way and the guys they do have with size are not effective at that kind of game. They have a couple smaller guys like Archi and Yamo that have the desire but not much size to grind down the other team.
The Oilers are built on speed and out gunning the other team. For better or worse, that is the team they are and the style that will give them a chance to win.

They still have some guys with size and speed, which could crash and bang, if they felt inspired. Of course you have to be smart about it, don't chase hits, but if you're forechecking a D-man, instead of flying by, finish the check, you're already there, hit and release, take him out of the play, too many times an Oiler flys by, and the the other guy joins the rush the other way, sometimes getting ahead of him.
IMO the Oil aren't really that fast a team on average, besides the elite speed players at the top end, the rest are average (and some unfortunately below) through the rest of the lineup, especially when compared the the rest of the playoff teams.

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
