Post-Game Talk: Oilers 8 - Vegas 2

[rboomercat90]

Not just the height but he looks so skinny too.

 

[Laineux]

Pretty sure he has the biggest melon in the league.

Can confirm.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Can confirm.

heh, your avatar was the first thing I thought about when there was talk of the big melon.

Most impressive thing McDavid showed last night wasn't his 2g 1a 3pts night, it's how mature and grounded he was giving encouragement to the opponent's junior goalie.

He got his 4th point and a hat trick taken away by an incorrect call from the ref(Maroon was hit into the goalie by the VGK d man), and he has the humility in that heated/excited moment to not just not complaining to the ref understanding that it's a 7-2 game at that point, but also give a tab to Ferguson as encouragement and being a great sport.

Very impressive and that's what a true leader is like.

One Word, General Manager, of course he's still got 20 or so years of playing and a handful of cups to get first

see, nabob, et al. take notice.
that's how you do it.

not bullying a member because you don't like their posts.

bringing up someones posting history is not bullying.

 

[Oilslick941611]

But I agree, we should get back to talking about the game. Sorry if you felt bullied.

speaking of Pulju, he is noticeably faster. Skating has improved drastically from last year, Very fast skater when he hits his stride. Its the quickness that will keep getting better as he matures

To me he is no quicker (he always had speed) but certainly thicker and stronger.

This game was just what the doctor ordered.

Blues have given up some goals in their last couple of games, there is opportunity here.

I agree, but I can see why he looks faster to some. Its because he's handling the puck better and is carrying the puck with confidence. He's the only player on the team aside from McDavid, Draisaitl and RNH who can wind up in their own end and gain the offensive zone with ease. I do think Jesse's another year or 2 away in terms of strength from becoming a dominant player. When he has the strength to consistently outmuscle guys with his size, reach, and speed he is going to be an absolute nightmare on the forecheck and cycle. It sure is going to be something watching this team in 3 on 3 when Yamamoto and hopefully Benson make the team.

McDavid-Puljujarvi-Nurse
Draisaitl-Yamamoto-Klefbom
RNH-Benson-Sekera/Larsson

Good luck lol.

It's funny Gregor and Rishaug briefly talked about how much stock you can put into this game. While it's true maybe we shouldn't get too excited, this could very well be the spark this team needs to get back on track.

a) they were mocking him because they don't like him, as opposed to talking about the content of his posts.
and b) your second post towards me was a pretty lame shot, I assume to show how "cool" you are.
thanks for giving me a reason to use the ignore button. have a pleasant day.

That might actually be the fastest 3 on 3 combination in the league, McDavid, Puljujarvi and Nurse are all speed demons.
