Given the way the oilers constructed with high end skill but no depth, the 1st period is crucial. Cats MUST show up on time tonight and not let the oilers (I.e. Mcdave) use his speed and fresh legs to beat us in the 1st.

There’s a reason why 6 of Mcdavid’s 10 pts against the stars came in the 1st period. Oilers have no depth so by the time the 2nd/3rd periods roll around, he’s gassed from having to play so much already, limiting (obviously not eliminating) his effectiveness.

For those down on our play in game 1, highly suggest listening to PDOCast latest discussing the game.

They mention how the shot totals and Oilers 'domination' narrative is misleading. Even at the start of the game when we looked the worst. Most of the effort was spent to contain McDavid, 9 of 14 shots were with him on the ice. Focus is on keeping McD in check, let the others have their looks. The rest of the play when he's not on the ice we tilted it the other way.

McDavid is the best offensive player in a generation. He's gonna generate offense and plays half the game. Our focus needs to be in making sure he has to go through others and be even on those minutes. Just weather the storm, get him tired by the end of the game. The rest of the time we go to work. If our 4th line can do it sometimes too, even better.

Like @Gatorbait19 said, they're gonna come out flying to start when they have the freshest legs. So it's not going to look pretty to start any game. Keep it even, grind out the wins in the 3rd.
