The loss of Hyman does hurt Edmonton but that will now result in more playing time for Perry and Skinner. I’d make the Panthers a slight favorite but now the Oilers have the experience and know what it’ll take to beat Florida and win it all. I wouldn’t bet money on this final either way. Gonna be tight and could go either way.
And McJesus just puts a dagger in their heart. Even before that goal I was thinking the Stars are having to expend SO much energy just to make up the two goal deficit. Against a team like the Oilers that makes you very susceptible to odd man rushes against. And here we are.
If Skinner and the Oilers come through this year that will make it a well established pattern that other GMs will find impossible to ignore anymore. Lol
Everything this failed franchise does is predictable. Dozens playing good and becoming recharged for Ottawa, meanwhile Norris, with an oft-injured reputation can’t get on the ice for us due to, shocker, being again injured.
