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

I hate to say it but they need to play a bit of Stars hockey and get back to basics. Oilers are clearly in their heads as they stray from their brand to try and beat them at their own game and it’s not working.
