Edmonton is (somehow) playing a style that on some level is contributing to these no shows by the opposition . Almost always when a team looks really bad a large party is due to their opponents play / game plan
Or the Oilers are poisoning these teams before pivotal games .

I hate to say this but full marks to the grease for their play through the neutral zone the last 2 games, its been masterful in giving the Stars fits trying to get into the offensive zone and its why shot totals and HD chances have been mostly neutered.
They have been a better team the last couple, but that doesn't mean it has to stay that way.
I suspect there will be a major push from Edm. right from the start....and if the Stars can hold them off early, their team is good enough to settle into what needs to be done to win. They just haven't done so in the last 2 losses.
