Don’t underestimate the Coyotes. They work hard and can surprise. Throw in the wild card brand new goalie which is often an issue for the Oilers who will have to bring their work boots to this one to win.

I just don't see that 2nd line working.

I would actually switch the centers of these two lines.
That second line has played 77 5 vs 5 minutes together with positive results. 5GF 4GA, a 58.49 xGF% and a HDCF% of 62.5%. Small sample size for sure but its not a bad combo really. Hyman and Nuge have had a lot of success together. Kane is a guy who does not need to carry the puck. Nuge tends to take a more aggressive stance offensively when he plays with guys who don't need the puck to succeed.

Star Wars night is May the 4th. This afternoon is free hot dog afternoon, the 1st 1000 people get a free dog and fountain pop.
That's fair, forgot about that. I think it's President's day in the US, so maybe they'll be wearing those ones. The helmets looking like Perry wigs is a nice touch.

That's hard to do.

That second line has played 77 5 vs 5 minutes together with positive results. 5GF 4GA, a 58.49 xGF% and a HDCF% of 62.5%. Small sample size for sure but its not a bad combo really.

Hyman needs to start scoring when McDavid isn't on the ice.

One thing I do like about the Knoblauch team if they play a bad game they usually look better in the next. I don’t need another 16 game win streak but if we can at least tread water (i.e. .500+) with our games in hand we should be golden.

Not happy about our McDraiPerry line but if that’s what it takes to win then sure as long as we don’t wear them out. Come playoff time that particular line may need to play 20+ minutes per game
