This is why I was dreading this matchup, emotions run too high for many of the players to handle. I really hope Sutter is able to work some old man wisdom into them to calm things the #### down

This.
Instead of just playing strong postionally like they have all season they start chasing against the Oilers.
Almost like they want to stop him too badly, and because of that play overly aggressive which leads to them ending up on the wrong side of him.
I hope they get on the road and play a simple road game, I’m not sure the energy in the Saddledome actually helped them that much. Seems that it almost got them to be a little too aggressive.
