Kassian got stupid and got thrown out for the whole second period. That was a game changer. He plays a bit smarter and things could be very different with everyone looking over their shoulder.
And really, how effective was a Dube or Jankowski? Would rather have a heavy weight in those games.

Maybe more effective than a net negative goon. Look at Kassian - was he a positive for the Oilers or would a decent skater and defensive player like Tobias Reider have been more help in the third?
