You just know that Tippett is out of ideas. As a coach it can't be easy when you only have two good players. He tried splitting up the wonder twins and that didn't work. So he put them back together again, and that only worked for two periods before the Jets finally woke up and took over the game with their superior depth.
Oilers will no doubt be desperate tonight, and I'm guessing McDingleberry and Drai will be out there for the majority of the 1st period to try and get them an early lead. Jets were caught sleeping at the start of game 3. I'm betting Maurice won't let that happen again. If the Jets can match Edmonton's desperation early and dictate the play with a hard forecheck and heavy hits, this series is over.
