I'm not the biggest fan of Hanifin either, but I think he'll have a much better performance against the Oilers than he did against the Stars. He was targeted and pounded by a big, heavy Stars' forecheck and his warts showed. But the Oilers aren't built like the Stars, they don't play the same style, so I doubt Hanifin will have as much trouble. Think he and Rasmus will do much better in a series like this actually.

I think the wheels will come off faster than you think with Gio.
