And you'll see tonight, when you watch the game, you'll see that the fourth line on this team has become a difference maker.

And that's something that probably makes the Oilers a little deeper than their last two playoff runs.

I think the biggest thing Koff gives is he gives the defenseman swagger.

I mean, anyone that knows Koff, Koff has swagger.

He's confident.

He's a guy that you just want to hang out with because you feel good about yourself.

That is true, but that's usually when I would block him out.

So I wouldn't listen to that part.

But he does have a swagger.

And the one player, like everyone thought last year that he really, he spoke to Boosh because Boosh is the same kind of player.

But to me, it's Darnell Nurse.

Koff loves Nurse as a player.

And Nurse plays, like when Koff came back, all of a sudden Nurse's minutes went up and he was leading the Oilers some nights and minutes played.

And this was a guy who had struggled most of the year.

So Koff has given confidence to Darnell Nurse.

And that's what the Oilers needed.

You don't have to worry about Bouchard or Ackholm.

They're going to do what they do and do it well.

But I think Koff has made a difference with Darnell Nurse.

He's given him confidence and he's playing his best hockey of the season.
