Looking forward to the game but this is the first time in the last couple of years I feel nervous about our matchup with the Oilers.

Brodie became very effective at checking McDavid and our old 3M line also held him in check. I love Tanev’s game so far, and Tanev-Hanifin have been an elite pairing. But I don’t know who else will step up as that shutdown unit against McDavid/Draisaitl who you know will be on the ice basically the entire game.

Also not looking forward to tonight’s HNIC storylines, which will be the Oilers are the next coming of Moscow Dynamo, and the Flames are a drama-fest of trade requests and players-only meetings.
