It is officially “Do-or-Die” Thursday. The Edmonton Oilers have landed in Orange County to face the Anaheim Ducks in a high-stakes Game 6. After a massive 4-1 survival win at Rogers Place, the Oilers are looking to keep the momentum rolling and force a Game 7 back in Edmonton.
Survival in the OC: Can the Oilers crack the code at the Honda Center? We dive into the “win or go home” mentality and what the leaders in that locker room need to do to ensure the season doesn’t end tonight.
The Pressure Cooker: Who is actually feeling the heat? We discuss whether the pressure has shifted to the young Anaheim squad after failing to close the door in Game 5, or if the weight of expectation still sits squarely on the Oilers’ shoulders.
Lineup Surgery: We break down the projected lines for tonight. Does Kris Knoblauch stick with the winning formula from Game 5, or do we see more tactical shifts to counter the Ducks’ home-ice advantage?
Step Up or Step Out: We identify the X-factors for Game 6. Beyond the “Big Three,” which depth players need to find another gear to push this series to the distance?
