Monahan is a pure goal scorer. It's pretty much all that he's good at, but he is damn good at putting the puck in the net.

Drai looked hurt, drunk, or both tonight. Multiple give aways, skating slow as mud, no intensity. He really labored getting up a time or two so I figure he's hurt.
LA was desperate for points - and the Oilers played a calm, mature 3rd period for the most part - but it still doesn't hide the fact that this team's coaching is bloody awful. Only guy who appears to have quit on the team is TMAC and that happened in October unfortunately.

Notice how Connor McDavid shot the puck in a 2 on 1 with a passing line available. That never happened before. It's super important that he has confidence in his shot. The past few months he has stopped overpassing and averages over 4 shots per game. Playing like this he's a 50 goal scorer for sure.

As a Canucks fan, no guilt in cheering for McDavid. He's unbelievable.
I hope he gets a bit of separation in the next few games here.

Let's be real.. you just want the Oilers % for the lottery to decrease to increase the chances of the Canucks drafting Dahlin

That's why TMac stapled Lucic to McDavid's line. He wanted McDavid to shoot the puck more.

Consider it consolation.
He's the best I've seen. Very impressive.

Very much agree with You. It looked promising during December with four centers. After christmas a few losses and line shuffling began, and the whole season with clueless PK and PP.

A power play ranked in the top half with the best offensive player in the league shouldn’t be too much to ask for. That and Lucic attatched to his hip for a couple months. Definitely Mclellan’s fault if he doesn’t win.

It might make him unlikable to opposing fans but I'm sure it has something to do with the reffing they/he gets.. he gets away with so much.

That's been the problem with these idiot coaches ALL season. They take 10 games longer to figure stuff out than what the armchair coach has been saying all along. Inexcusable. They need to go .

There was some brief potential conversation on it a couple pages back.
Used to play regularly before work got in the way. Great game

I agree. Drai was bad tonight and last game. Was great the game before. Hes been playing like he did after the concussion earlier in the year.
Like i said before I love Drai but he needs to be more consistent. When hes on, hes a beast. Especially in this market making 8.5 a year, he needs to bring it consistently every night. Of course everyone has a night off every once in awhile. I don’t really blame him for not showing up in a lost season but i think he has to work to put forth a better effort.
One thing that concerns me about him is that he seems to almost pout when hes not playing with McDavid. Seems to happen alot on this team I think. Rattie for example seems so much faster playing with McDavid. Guy seemed like a slug on the third and fourth line. Team in general needs to support McDavid better. The team needs more than one scoring line. Hopefully the Oilers get the centers some better wingers next year.
I'm blaming his inconsistencies on the fact that it's a lost season and he had faced adveristy early on from his concussion etc. We have seen how Drai plays when the games matter. I wouldn't judge him by his play in a lost season like this one IMO, not a guy with this high a ceiling. Just get back in the groove come September and move on.

You guys know that the Islanders being a bad team doesn't make the deals Chiarelli has made with them any less bad right? It's not a good thing that a GM as terrible as Garth Snow is so easily able to bend our GM over in deals every summer.

Yeah... both teams are proof you need good management.
