I was at the game tonight, so I'll give my opinion in the near future on what I think of certain players.
But I will say this right away: Don't worry. Houston has more depth, and that comes from their very good lifetime AHLers, not future NHLers. The top-end talent on display by Hall, Eberle, and Schultz is on another level. No Wild prospect holds as much skill as any of those three. If the Barons had the depth of Houston, they would be winning these games.
So don't be concerned. The speed advantage of a fresh Barons team is apparent. They were just running out of gas on the final of a 3-in-3. In the end we want to see successful NHL teams, and I liked what I saw from the Oilers side of it.
