The Oilers outplayed them pretty badly at even strength the last 2 periods so I don't think the Game Impact Score would be unfavorable. Now The Ref Impact Score on the other hand....
My eye ball test had it as a pretty back and forth game. Thought both goalies player well. Think the Oilers won the possession game but the Kraken do a really good job of limiting chances.

Skinner saved Edmonton tonight.

Knowing Oiler fans, they will most likely say it was luck or will try to find an excuse to say Skinner is still bad or Campbell is better

It’s just funny the amount of people calling Draisaitl an idiot when Nuge basically did the same thing earlier in the period and the Kraken actually scored on that one. Not a peep about how much of an idiot he is and such.

Kraken player feels hand on body and flops.
The Seattle player had control of his stick and the game at the game wasn't on the line. That was a completely unnecessary penalty by Draisaitl.

NHL game management disgusting. Only reason it was close.

Krack down 2-0 late in third call up Bettman, give us a PP, OK. Get a goal back then another PP. Oilers being hauled down all over never a call.

Kraken get 4PP's we get 1. Even though we have the talented players.
Yeah that call on Drai was brutal. Definite dive but at the same time I'm not sure what Drai was trying to accomplish. He lost the inside lane there.

Wouldn't mind Eberle if we miss out on Buchnevich and Tarasenko...
Oh please no. Eberle can't score much this year and already established he couldn't even play with McD.

For around 20 games this season it looked like Eberle might never score again. He kinda woke up lately but why we want him?

Doesn't give you anything in terms of playoff player, doesn't give you size, doesn't really give you much scoring either. Eberle is old now, like Gagner.

The Draisaitl penalty was a penalty. If that was reversed under the same circumstances this thread would be on fire.

We had two, Seattle three. But yes, game management is ugly.

He is unproven in the playoffs and Pickard hasn't been a NHL regular in years. The goaltending as it stands is not a safe bet for playoff hockey. Hopefully Skinner plays great and removes any doubt that he can be the guy that takes us to a cup. A great game against a mostly toothless Kraken team doesn't change any of this.
