They have guys who have been there and know how to play on the line- which is absolutely critical for playoffs. And adam 'washed up' henrique scoring twice. It's bizzaro world. Without needing their two main boys, they've had success.
The problem with crusty old veterans is they wear out. Just start pounding these old guys and they'll wear out. They need an opponent that will do that right back to them and play on that same line- dirty enough to injure and wear down without taking serious penalties/suspensions. And a good PK to manage all the penalties called by the oilers diving.
Don't know that the stars or jets have that in them.

That's where Dallas can, hopefully, return the favour. Benn can be a grade-a prick, Marchment as well.
