I think we're seeing the recipe for beating the Oilers, actually.

If you focus on defending against McDavid and Draisaitl, you end up with a low scoring game where their PP can win it with a timely goal.

Fortunately Chicago can't defend, so they are throwing everything at the attack. And the Oilers' defensive play is terrible - lousy D core, and lazy forwards. That gives Chicao a fighting change. And IMO, over the course of 3 games so far, they have been the better team - outgunning the Mighty Gunners of Mulletville.

I think the way to beat them is to go full offense on them and try to win 6-5 instead of 2-1
