Post-Game Talk: Oilers 3 Devils 2

[Oil75]

Letestu didn't get another shift after his effort on the second NJ goal.

completely warranted

 

[McAsuno]

RNH just walked right through Hall and his weak stick check.

Love Hallsy, but seeing him getting angry as he skated back on the bench after his 2 on 1 failed with Hischier was one thing that I didn't miss about him.

 

[Spawn]

Right? I was trying to see if an official lifted an arm on the play. The thing that surprised me with the no call, was that it was that horizontal stick to the arm/gloves that is supposedly an automatic this year. Oh well, I'm sure the Oilers got away with a few too, because it's easy to be gracious when they win

Most egregious non-call of that OT was the Devils player being allowed to jump onto the ice and defend the rush when the player he was changing for was still 20 feet away from the bench.

That was some absolute BS. Can't believe they were allowed to get away with it.

Finally two in a row.

It's a tough climb back to respectability but we're getting closer.

They got away with a few calls as well imo. Connor got hauled down as he skated with the puck toward their end without a call.

He got hauled down multiple times. Second, third and OT. Like he does every game. And it's never called.

How about some props for the PK...no goals allowed on the last 7 penalties the past 2 games.

 

[shoop]

The phrase still doesn’t make any sense. You don’t have to “find a way” to keep him. He has a contract. I’m well aware of the cap trouble but it’s not like it was mandatory to trade him. Now if you wanted to “find a way” to keep Maroon, that makes more sense.

Perhaps I can rephrase in a manner more acceptable to you.

Nuge certainly wasn't playing like a $6 million player last season. He is now.

There is a salary cap crunch a comin'. At Nuge's level of play last season it would have been better cap mangement to trade him. If he keeps up his strong play throughout this season Chia just might wanna keep him around.

Nuge took Hall's stick with him

 

[guymez]

Lol...he really did.

 

[CycloneSweep]

No props. We have a 90% PK on the road and just over 50% at home. I'm not worried about our PK away from Rogers.

 

[Aerrol]

It's been said a lot but while there were warts this game there was also huge positives: Nuge looking great and the PK doing well against a pretty good offense. I'm very happy to see both.

 

[guymez]

Its all about success and the PK did a great job tonight.

Oh come on. They won against an eastern team, which they're supposed to suck against. Is that a better positive for you?

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Apparently its a groin injury. It will be interesting to see who they call up. I hope its Rattie.

Shit, that's too bad-hopefully it's not a serious injury. He scored a beauty tonight...from what I've read on the board Rattie has had himself a solid past two weeks. Get him on the plane.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Oh come on. They won against an eastern team, which they're supposed to suck against. Is that a better positive for you?

Yep. Lol
Our PK at home is the issue with it that's all.

We beat an eastern team two games in a row. I'm pumped.

I'm hoping we can beat our matinee curse on Saturday

 

[ChaoticOrange]

No one in Bako deserves a callup more than Rattie at this point.

OK I'm glad you still have some positives

 

[guymez]

I agree. He really has earned a call up.

 

[CycloneSweep]

OK I'm glad you still have some positives

I got tons.

Nuge is huge.
Lucic is quietly putting up even strength points.
Malone needs to stay up, he is our best 4th liner.
Slepy, who doesn't impress me had a good goal (sadly got hurt)

Outside of the first 10 minutes I thought the game was pretty evenly matched.

Lots of puck luck on our side though for once too which helped as well.

 

[RipsADrive]

McDavid lately hasn't seemed to have that jump I've come to expect from him.

Not sure if it's just a slump or a nagging injury but I'm pretty certain the rest of the league didn't suddenly learn how to deal with his speed.

Nice to win a a game where he didn't have to do the all the heavy lifting on his own but hopefully he bounces back soon.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Possibly Laleggia.

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Would be sweet if Rattie got the call up

 

[Aerrol]

Yeah, he definitely deserves a shot and we still need offense on the wings. Give him a chance!
