Some encouraging thoughts:
The only team to take Edmonton to the brink of elimination was Vancouver, who in the first five games, won three. They pounded Edmonton--that's not something L.A. did with their stupid 1-3-1, and Dallas hasn't been very physical either, which I think plays to the Greasers advantage.
Florida is different. They are tough throughout their lineup. They have the 2024 Selke winner in their lineup. And then there's the goalies--Bobrovsky and Stolarz are better than Skinner and Pickard. Florida dismantled the best regular season team, holding Zibnanejad scoreless, and only allowing Panerin a goal in the last two minutes of the last game. Plus there's the bonus of a coach who will say whatever pops in his head and is often hilarious.
Obi Wan Tkachuk, you're our only hope...
