Yep. I'm willing to bet MacTavish and/or Lowe visit the dressing room today or tomorrow stressing the importance of the game to the players how this could be their Stanley Cup. We know that they will have an extra jump in their step tomorrow just as we know they probably didn't feel too bad about losing last night as their lone goal is to help the Flames miss the playoffs by tanking the two games against the Kings and winning the game Saturday night. Now the Flames will have something to say about that but if they come out sloppy with goaltenders letting in soft goals and giving the Oilers lots of powerplays I can definitely see the Oilers upsetting them.
