3 Cups

Time for the big boys to step up. Yes you need depth but you need your best players to play well and for the Oilers and how their team is built, they need them to get going. When you have 2 elite players like McD and Leon who get all the PP time and the bulk of the premium ice time, they have to produce.

Leon has been quiet. You sat at the podium last year almost in tears. You said cup or bust. Here you are. You are one of the best players on the planet, time to shine.
Nuge has been a bit quiet. Ringing the bar doesn't count. You have to score and he's missed wide open nets. He's played 13 yrs, this is what you have waited for and it's there for the taking. Nuge being Nuge, being Mr. Subtle, don't win you the cup. Time to step up.
Hyman. See Nuge. He's missed wide open nets. You left your home town to come here for this. Time to go grab it.
McD has been decent but 1 assist doesn't cut it. Need to score. You want to win so badly. You have a good team, you are in the finals. The entire NHL is watching. You want to solidify your legacy, the time is right now. Time to go McD.
Bouchard has had 2 rough games. He looks rattled. He's bobbling pucks he doesn't normally bobble, missing pucks at the line he normally stops, missing passes that are always on the tape, not getting his shot throught.

It sure would be nice if a few other Oilers forwards showed they had a pulse.

Foegele: UFA, scored his 20 goals to potentially get a raise. If he had any kind of remotely OK playoff, slam dunk he gets a big contract. He's sucked. Every crappy game he plays, costs him money. If he wants to salvage something, and I hope his agent is telling him "DUDE COME ON!!", he has to pick it up huge. He's making it real easy to say bye bye for the Oilers. If he wants to take a pay cut to say, then maybe but no chance I want him signed for even what he makes. Playoffs in my opinion show what a player is made of and he's not showing anything.

McLeod. See above. He's been lousy. He looks soft, scared, not engaged. He skates fast and is decent defensively, great. He looks like a little faster, less engaged Janmark. Janmark makes 1 mill and at least Janmark will mix it up some. It's too bad McLeod's contract isn't up because you could get him for less than the 2.1 mill he's making now.

Holloway. Has showed a lot of promise, I like the skillset. Looks like he has all the tools to be a good second line player. Time to show it. You looked good early but you have faded big time. If you want your name written in pen for a top 6 job next season, time to step up.

Kane I know you are hurt. If you are too hurt, swallow your pride and step back. Otherwise, you need to do something.

Perry. They brought you in for your experience, they need a greasy goal. At 39 this is probably it for you for cup chances. Whatever you have left, leave it on the ice. Get in the Panthers face. Push Bob, pry at his pads. DO anything and everything to get in his head.

Brown. Your season was a disaster but I am seeing what kind of player you are in the playoffs. I think you have been pretty good actually. If you want to salvage the tiniest bit of your season, now is the time.
