6 Cups

For any chance at a Cup we needed a definitive upgrade on D - someone like a Tanev, and a goalie. Instead we got Henrique.
Pickard had had like 5 consecutive solild outings before yesterday, and Skinner has had some really good stretches as well. But I don't have a whole lot of faith in either of them backstopping this team to a Cup.

The Oilers have a chance at the cup but they could have given themselves better odds. They have improved their forward depth over the last couple of years and have a pretty good top 9 with a serviceable fourth line. I'm still concerned that scoring will dry up when the games get tighter in the playoffs.
The problem, for me, remains with the defense. For the Oilers to win they absolutely need to be able to run out 6 defenders who can outplay their competition. I don't think they have this and I think they fail from here. Specifically with Nurse, Desharnais, and Ceci. The big worry I have is Desharnais was exposed as kind of immobile last playoffs. He's been better this year, but he has to prove he can play top 4 in the playoffs before I believe he can.
Leaky defense leads to to shots dangerous shots against. Skinner is found money, but I'm not sure he's a winning goalie behind this defense.
I expect 1-3 chaotic series again filled with fun but stressful hockey. With luck they'll either go to the finals or lose out early so Corporate Challenge and softball season isn't messed with too much.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
