I will know within 5 mins of the start if they are going to have a chance of wining. If they come out skating hard and forechecking hard we are in with a chance. If they come out all soft and getting beaten to loose pucks we have had it. Its been the same almost all of the season. They have to put pressure on the oilers in their end and hit when they can, they need to hit the wonder kids hard when they can. I am sick of seeing them dipsy doodling around defence men, take them to the outside and put them into the boards hard. In the end their top line has been head and shoulders better than ours if we lose this series then we need to re-evalue both JG and MT. Don't get me wrong they are good players but I will not be able to continue watching the flames if 22/24 mil is spent on them at the expense to the rest of the team. They are not going to get better and if we get knocked out by the oilers what does that say for the next 7/8 years. This was the year to get it done, I await with baited breath.
