Tough week ahead

Us Accountants have to work during f***ing Audit season so I couldn't watch this. Nice to see Rico score again and McDavid take the lead.

With Kulak out, I wonder if we see Broberg (if it's a week to week injury).

Since it is literally 2 weeks until the season is over, I wonder if we rest Kulak

Don't you have till the end of April?

Just watched the hi-lites.

That McDavid goal on the rush - he never had that speed for most of the year where he could fool the goalie like that.

Hyman goal looked entitled.

Exactly, that's his signature goal.

Let's stop being humble. They're the top pairing in the league. I just wish the 2nd pairing wasn't so meh.

One of these days Nurse will figure it out.

Double-whammy for me.

Easter weekend and my boy is 14 today. Most 14 year olds just want to piss around with their buddies but him…he wants to go to McDonald’s tomorrow to apply for a job, so pretty happy for him to want to start doing that at 14.

Can’t get him to lift a finger around home here though .

Oilers have 3 players with 60 assists, which has not been done very often although it's the fifth time the Oilers have done it, other teams who have Bos Nyi Pitts LA back in the 70's 80's

Mc-D and the Elk are playing their best hockey of the season--just in time for the playoffs.

 

[Section337]

crazy how much it felt like being at a preseason game where the home dresses their lineup, while not so much for the visitors. The only difference, the home side isn’t rusty.

 

[FlameChampion]

Most important: It's not a fair fight. McDavid basically spotted them a 10 game head start in a year where he's shot 4% below his career & still caught them with an eighth of the season to go.

After years of proof that he can outclass anyone, including those two, offensively.

MacKinnon also gets way more PP’s than McDavid gets

McDavid hasn't even been healthy this season, yet he is competing with the 2 highest scoring forwards outside of Drai in the last 6ish years.

Feels like we light up Gibson every time we play him. Not sure why the coach throwing him against us. Dostal usually plays well.

It’s all about draft position for them now.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

The Ducks just really aren't that good of a team right now. That said we took care of business and didn't just let them hang around all game and piss away 2 points because of laziness vs. them earning the 2 points by working their tail feathers off.

 

[tiger_80]

MacK 3 points so far
Kuch 1 point

This **** is gonna go down to the wire.

EDIT: Wow, no filter?! Guess I’ll just do it manually then lol.

This Kuch is getting licked by Auston Amtthews.

Kaiser Drai..ha. Getting Molly RIngwald vibes with McDavid in this picture.

Nice to see Henrique looking good in a top 6 W role. Should have put him there from the start.

Probably wanted to save him for the more winnable game tomorrow.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Just a nice walk in the park.

McDavid back on top where he belongs. 4 points out of first in division.

sorry man, had to. Bored at work

It appears the lines are starting to be solidified for the playoffs. Henrique seems to be a much better fit for Draisaitl while Kane and Perry with McLoed at C is looking very effective. Huge test these last 10 games.

 

[Oilers in NS]

They're terrible, Oilers should not feel good about that win

well they did pound them and hit post a few times. Oilers looked like Harlem Globetrotters a few times in game. What didnt u like about Oilers?

Maybe its another good trade at deadline by Holland? Last week, some on here wanted Henrique gone. I think he is a pretty useful hockey player and plays various roles

 

[Oilers in NS]

Missed the third (my boy’s 14th birthday today) so way to blow out a terrible team.

thats more important. It goes to quick . Mine is graduating this year and going to college in fall . Felt like yesterday I was taking her into Grade primary. That was a rough day on both of us

So yesterday was a career-high in TOI for Vinny. Yes it was a blowout, but I feel like I barely noticed him all night (in a good way).

But beyond it just being the Ducks, I think a lot is due to him staying purely in the defensive role he's strong in. He wasn't called upon to try and push the puck up ice and was allowed to just "hang back." (even if he did end up with two assists)


And why yes, this is a Stecher post. But yeah, the two of them made for a nice yin/yang, and the coaches could keep both of them in situations that played to their strengths.

I also feel like Stecher disrupted a lot of the "targetted" dump-ins, where teams know to chip the puck into the defensive RW corner vs. the Oil and exploit their lack of speed on that side. But he just raced back, cleanly beat the forechecker to the puck, and moved it out of harm's way.
