How they play is just as important as if they win. If they scratch and claw and walk away with an L, that will be acceptable.
If they go quietly into the night then major question marks still surround the team regarding their mental toughness.
They need to slay this dragon, win or lose. Can't let the Avs live in their heads anymore.
Looch probably needs a two game break anyway; him attacking Zadorov would get the team going.
