It's weird, he looked like a completely different player in OT, and was actually skating by players with little effort.

His performance over everyone else in the minors thus far definitely earns him it. Hope they call him up. Would be nice to see how he would fare.
Shotout to good ol Malone though. Great 4th liner.

Oilers have won 3 of their last 4
Nuge is back!
Lucic had 2 points both at ES
PK was massive tonight
Connor and Drai are magic
maybe things are turning around

I think some of you guys are overthinking McDavid right now. 18 points in 15 games, held off the scoresheet once in the past 8 games and just 3 times this season.
He might not be playing his best hockey right now, but he's still scoring at a ~100 point pace.

One thing I thought was weird tonight was how often the Devils knocked down passes or corralled bouncing pucks. It was like they all borrowed Nik Lidstrom's hands for a night. Did anyone else see it this way?

I can't even imagine the level of frustration Slepyshev must be feeling right now. He just can't get healthy.
Every time he tries to get things going, his body betrays him.

Good win boys.
Mcdavid is still not human, despite not looking himself recently.
Wonder if something’s up.

Had to miss the game (just got the score/stats now). Looks like Talbot had another great game, ending with a 0.941 SV% on the night. Saw the McDavid set-up to Drai; that was ridiculous (in a good way). What a set up. Think Connor knew that both guys were on him, and to have the awareness that Drai was on his way. Just what a play. Also hope this means that the real Talbot is back. That would be even bigger than McDavid having another 100 point season, IMO. Need great goaltending to win, as you're just not going to score 4 (or 3, like tonight) every game.

Ya their ice is pretty bad/bouncy and are probably a lot more used to it than the Oilers.

This. Kinda wonder how that makes his teammates feel. I get the passion and heart, but is that really a signal you wanna be sending to your rookie?

PK came up big.
RNH looked great, maybe he can get his offensive mojo back. Outstanding in OT.
Lucic had a good game. I sometimes forget what a good wrister he has.
Slepy had a beauty but, man, he cannot catch a break.
Drai and McDavid were Drai and McDavid in OT.
Talbot, solid.
Not without flaws but better than last game. Maybe they can put together a string here.

Wish the whole game was 4vs4 and maybe 3vs3 OT. Think the oilers would be better off.

You deserve better after all this time. Might be in the Injury/ Infirmary thread. I'm not reposting crap like that. Watch the injury thread turn in to a gossip thread..lol

Another gritty road win. I don't know why the refs decided to put away the whistles after letting NJ gain the PP advantage on a few marginal calls.
Big game by the second line and then the big money players won it in OT. Both Hall and Larsson had strong games (I'm sure it's a coincidence that the main board thread died down after Larsson had two strong games against the Devils). Each team received the type of player they wanted in that trade.

Relax junior, it’s just a post.
You're right. Not worth it, but petty stuff like that should have no place here.
As soon as I saw that little Mctuft popping out of his lid we were in for some McDavid magic in ot.

Malone looks like a guy determined to stay in the NHL. Smart player, lots of jump. I didn't think anything of this signing. Seems like a good add so far.

Yeah, that wasn't good on Hall, bonehead play by the kid not just finishing it but he's respecting hall so much he tries to pass it back. Its what you get playing on a young squad. Hall has to be better on the bench there. Somebody else was consoling Hersheyer right? (I'm not even going to try to spell the name. )

sorry I was busyWow no whining yet? I am shocked. Good to see another win
can't believe it took almost all of OT to score a sick goal again
