Rocksteady wrote on Fri, 24 May 2024 11:26 | Throughout this game I thought this "feeling out" between the team would be a long drawn out affair. Both teams tried to push the other in the most cautious way, but the Oilers showed they can hang with them, less crashing and banging and more of a game of errors.
Top to bottom the lineup deserved a ton of applause, the PK is still operating at a ridiculous pace and the game of the 3rd and 4th line was amazing. I watched it all.. when the fans stand thought you can't see much of the corners so I wasn't aware of the McDavid 2OT goal.
Still, great effort all around.

Like how our team suddenly look like stick checking experts. This seems like a great matchup for the Oilers in terms of speed. We were able to be on top of guys all night, and if we are combining that with good sticks, we can eliminate so many chances against. Honestly a bit surprised at how good our sticks have been lately, wonder if Knob has been pushing working on that hard in practice. Hope that continues.
I don't think any of the Dallas D are very physical. Their D play a lot like ours, mostly stick checking and angles/positioning. Tanev leads their D in hits, but his hits are mostly just rub outs on the boards like guys like Vinny and Nurse do. Pretty optimistic that McDavid and Drai will be able to play their game through the series and not take a constant beating like they did against the Canucks.
Benn and Marchment will be taking runs for sure all series on our D, and forwards in the middle of the ice if they can catch a guy. But overall, most likely will be a battle of errors/smarts, and goaltending. We have the high end talent, and we need it against Oettinger. Dallas will just keep grinding for lower quality chances and if we can keep those down and Skinner is on his game, we should have a good shot every game.
