Nothing would please me more than to see Bennett lay a big check on mcdummy, but benny would get beaten like a rented mule if he had to defend against him all night.

Yeah gotta say not liking our chances the Oilers. This team just gets caught up in watching McDavid skate circles around them and forgets that they have to try. I'd just get the Backlund line and first pairing on the McDavid line all game. They're good enough, in theory, to keep him quiet.

.

The Oilers have holes in the defense and their goalies are struggling

I dont see why the Flames cant win.

I agree. We need to match Backlund against McDavid.

That’s who is likely to face McDavid, and who has been facing him previously. I also wouldn’t say the success of slowing him down has been that good to date. I’d like to see Bennett get the assignment, even for 20 min. Things like this are ways to get some guys going and would show the coach has confidence in him. If Bennett struggles, put Selklund back on him.
