Holland wants Oilers to lean on experience in West Final against Stars

Holland wants Oilers to lean on experience in West Final against Stars

Ken Holland believes every Stanley Cup Playoff disappointment in his five-year tenure as general manager of the Edmonton Oilers has contributed to this moment. The cornerstones of the Oilers' roster, forwards Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and defenseman Darnell Nurse, are in their prime heading into Game 1 of the Western Conference Final against the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center on Thursday (8:30 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN, TVAS, CBC), and Holland feels this is Edmonton's best chance to win it all under his management.
