It's too bad the Flames didn't land Jeannot this summer too they would really actually be a fairly tough team this year, I think the weakness there is they don't really have the one heavy/middleweight who can stand up to the real beasts. Admire Lomberg for taking his beatings against guys like Olivier though ha.
Put McDavid through the boards or smash him into the net on one of his "no one touch me" drives to the net early, let them lose their composure and Nurse get his game misconduct out of the way chasing around a swede or a rookie and mugging them and run it up boys.

Sadly, I think that it is more the refs I worry about. Limit the powerplays and play Edmonton tight 5 on 5 and I like our chances. Of course, if they play like they did against Vancouver last week and this could be over quickly.
