It's last game of the season, they are in the playoffs.The season is over.
I'm derailing this thread but the thoughts I have are this:
I'm worried about the playoffs. Gregor and others have piped up saying that the Oilers are deeply skilled team and they will go deep again this year but I'm looking at this lineup and I'm like... I think that might be an over estimation, I'm a realist..
We really do miss Holloway.
I don't think we miss Broberg as much.

I don't entirely disagree, but the positive side rebuttal would be they've known they would be in this position for a good month now. There's been no real reason to play their A game and burn out trying to get home ice for round 1 game 7 when they can probably beat the Kings in six anyway. So why not go to the playoffs with their skill players being as healthy as possible and well rested? I think McDavid, Drai, Bouch, Nurse, Skinner, Walman, and maybe Hymen should all be ready for game 1. The only real loss is Ekholm.
Gregor sold his soul for access. I don't blame him for that decision but I no longer put much stock into what he says.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
