Oilers defense in game 82 last year:
Sekera—Fayne
Nurse—Pardy
Oesterle—Reinhart

so our best players were our best players...what a revelation!
Crosby, Malkin and Murray carry Pittburgh...OV, Backstrom and Holtby carry Washington...Toews, Kane and Keith carry Chicago
which good teams aren't carried by their best players?
anyways, Let's Go Oilers!! playoffs baby!
