I'm here, I'm bored
As much as we still need some more size and toughness in the lineup, I'm wondering if our powerplay might help to keep our opponents honest?
Our powerplay was 3rd last year. Add in Yakupov, Schultz and Harti, and all of these players have yet to even reach their prime, I think we will have the best powerplay in the league until this core is broken up.
So that said, as the Oilers become a better team in the standings, and wins against us are crucial for opponents, will their coaches be strict with their players about taking penalties against us?
