Well Well Well Here we go again. Only this time we are much much better player wise, deeper and way way more structured due to Woody. IF and I say IF we play the way we can and have been this series should be over in 5 games max. Woody having the experience of coaching under Todd knows how he will prepare. Goaltending will be a factor. Quick gives me some concern. If he gets on a roll it will be difficult, but I'm sticking with my 5 games, IF THEY PLAY THE WAY THEY CAN.I agree, Pillotte. There are quite a few reasons that I feel more confident this year and 2 are the big ones. The first is the way the Oilers have shown that they are capable of playing a much improved defensive game. The second reason is that McDavid and Draisaitl are leading the way playing very sound two way games. Also as you stated we are also much deeper player wise compared to other seasons. I think the adversity they've faced this year has them in a different headspace too. A 12 game losing streak. A mid-season coaching change. Kosko telling the media to F off. A stretch where they couldn't score. A stretch where they couldn't stop a beach ball. A rash of injuries at a critical time. Embarrassing losses to the Flames and Wild that would have derailed previous editions of the Oilers. That overcame this stuff, and it feels like it galvanized the group. Add that to the washouts of the last 2 seasons, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what they can put together starting tomorrow. One more sleep!!

Kills me that I can't go, but a good friend bought tix to tomorrow's game and can't use them. If anyone is interested in Section 205, row 7, 15&16 send me a message. He's not trying to make any money on the deal, just covering his cost.
Thanks all, and Go Oil!
