My .02 on the game was McDavid was pure fire last night. The score was 2-2 less McDavid. Outside of him and Drai it's thin and he can't do what he did last night for 56 games. I must be giving Jake too much credit but I don't feel like he was that bad last night (or at least nothing glaringly obvious). Even with the giveaways Hoglander looked good still what I love about him is he wants to make a play and doesn't just throw the puck away. I felt like Juolevi was fine and will improve throughout the year. I think Schmidt is just getting his feet wet and once he's comfortable he will be pretty important. Bo is a tough assignment and coaches are going to do what they can to get their superstars away from him, which means Petey is going to be going heads up with a lot of top lines which is what he wants. He will show he is up to the challenge. I agree with Vantel I am going to enjoy the youth in this years line up. I think that Bailey will slot in tomorrow, size and speed will give Calgary fits.

How do you know he changed it up on a whim? He just won, rolled out the same group of players, but altered his game plan for no apparent reason?

Not saying he couldn't have, but maybe it's the players not executing well enough, or Edmonton responding...

Not entirely the same group. Not blaming Demko but freezing the puck late in the 1st led to the 2-0 goal. That set the table for the Oilers.
