EDMONTON — For the Edmonton Oilers, the hope is that they can repeat what the Florida Panthers did last season — win it all the year after losing the Stanley Cup final.
The Oilers lost to the Panthers by one goal in Game 7 of the Cup final, leading to a long summer of what-ifs.
“Just being able to experience that, of going through Game 7, with all that energy, and all that noise, just the whole deal of it, it’s pretty amazing. Now, if we get to experience that again, we’re hoping to experience that again this year, if we do, we already know how it feels. Taking a nap before Game 7, you’re not going to be as wound up as you were this past year.”
“You can't look back at last year and expect that to happen again this year,” said Skinner. “Obviously, we have expectations of how we want to perform. That was last year. This year is a completely different year. We have a different team. Every team in the NHL is a different team.Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid will be looked to provide 100-plus points again this season. The Oilers vaunted power play will be expected to click at a rate higher than 30 per cent.
