  1. This team obviously needs some help on D and in the top 6… but jeez, you can't say a bad thing about DR. This man is playing above his pay grade, and has been the usual stalwart player he is, even though he has been thrusted into the top 6. Great game again tonight. If KH can get them some help up top, he will be the perfects 3rd liner.

  2. As I said 2 times already, Perfect start ,the 1st Period Pre-game Plan was bang-on the money and the Rangers had no reply . Until the 2nd when they adjusted at which point we could not reply on-the-fly to their only tangible adjustment we could not figure them out and ran out of time. This game was the polar opposite dynamically to the last game where the adjustments came late in the game for the Oilers as they slowly figured out their foe and were gaining momentum as the time ran down. To me the last 2 games were like shots well on target but just left and just right of the Bullseye. There is lots to work with here, one more quick adjustment 5 minutes into the 2nd period to snuff their pushback and the game ends as a win for the Oilers. Well done on many levels. Next game please.
