'We have the belief system, especially on the road, of this is about us. Let's make other teams adjust to us. When we're at our best & everyone's going we're really hard to defend & handle.' — Leon Draisaitl on teams trying to line match them.

After watching the Oilers absolutely cook Vegas yesterday, it settled my nerves about the Kings a little.
The Oilers are just too good right now.

We've seen 'Refuse to Lose' late in playoff games and playoff series. But with Edmonton Oilers having lost Game 1 in eight of their previous 10 playoff series, tonight is the Knight to see 'Killer Instinct'. You can't win a Stanley Cup in Game 2 of Rnd 2. But you can pave way.
