Give me the Oilers every day, the playoffs is a different beast.
The Oilers won't get their gifts on the powerplay. In fact the refs dealing with Connors bull#### diving and crying and staring at the refs is just going to turn the officials against the Oilers. Remember the Canucks and their antics, eventually you could basically punch a Sedin in the face in front of the refs, and the Refs would be "Like whatever".
The Oilers are one dimensional, they have a power play . . . . other then that they stink.
Connor's not a winner, he dogs it in the playoffs, he's satisfied he's got his individual awards he's good. Draisaitl was poop in the playoffs last year and quit half way through that series.
Their blueline is garbage, its had a nice stop but garbage doesn't stop stinking, eventually the fabreeze camouflage that Holland sprayed on that pile of crap that's he's built will wear off.
Does anyone actually believe that a tandem of Smith at 86 and no catch Koskinen is that scary of a tandem to face in the playoffs? I want that Markstrom vs those two matchup.
The Oilers deserved a worse fate in game one, the Flames are finding their game. This streak of the Oilers against a easy schedule is their height. There's no surprises.
I'm still convinced that the Oilers will slide out of the playoffs when the chips are down. Like the scorpion riding the Turtle . . . Its in their nature.
