Post-Game Talk: Oilers 8 - Vegas 2

[CycloneSweep]

It was me and Kadri had 61 points last year and has 16 in 19 this year so no you haven’t told me anything.

Nuge is in a 69 point pace and looks as good as Kadri did when he broke out.

I have some crow for you

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Trust the Pro-cess, my friends.
I lurk and your doom and gloom is morbid.



***Please smile more Oilers fans.***

I feel like I'm getting closer.

Bad goaltending and bad Vegas defense. I feel we could have cycled forever if we wanted to.

 

[tempest2i]

A very good night. Build on this.

And those white gloves piss me off so, so much.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Big win. Say what you will about Vegas but they are above us in the standings and this was a huge win.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

It was me and Kadri had 61 points last year and has 16 in 19 this year so no you haven’t told me anything.

Kadri is good, Nuge is good. What's the problem?

 

[oXo Cube]

Trust the Pro-cess, my friends.
I lurk and your doom and gloom is morbid.

We have a lot of practice at being truly horrible.

You Sharks fans are also often fairly miserable on your own board, but you really have no idea.

 

[nabob]

Nuge's Movember stache is coming in strong

 

[KarmaPolice]

Told you *****ing him out would work. Haha.

Finally worked. I've been trying that for weeks it seems now.

I did say in the game thread that I had a feeling Klef would bust out tonight, but then qualified that with saying it was more of a hope. Should've left the qualifier out. Hey, whatever works. I'm fine with that.

 

[FlameChampion]

Like how recently, medias been discussing RNH's high shooting percentage. 2 Goals on 2 shots, and both were zingers.

 

[MessierII]

Nuge is in a 69 point pace and looks as good as Kadri did when he broke out.

I’ll wait till the season is over it takes more than 18 games to erase the last couple hundred.

 

[jebs]

Second line looking legit atm, hope they can keep it up.

 

[McShogun99]

The curse of Jokinen has been lifted. We go on a big win streak now.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Nuge has been impressive this season. Chia.. keep your meat hooks off..

 

[NeverForget06]

Two very solid forward lines. If Cammy can come in and make something happen with Strome I think we will have a very solid forward group

 

[CupofOil]

Oh come on, yes good start, but there’s only one direction that team is headed in the standings. I’m glad they in the division.

I expect them to fall down the standings too. Doesn't change the fact that at this point in time, they were 10-5 and undefeated against the west so better than an AHL team. Hell, there were some posters who were saying in the pre-game that Vegas was the superior team which I laughed off of course.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

We have a lot of practice at being truly horrible.

You Sharks fans are also often fairly miserable on your own board, but you really have no idea.

Haha this is so true. We complain alot.

But Woodcroft is your problem now so we have that to be happy about

 

[Ritchie Valens]

The curse of Jokinen has been lifted. We go on a big win streak now.

...and has been passed to a division rival.

Chia, you sly *******.

Just seen Nuge on Sportsnet for Post game interview. Looks like his Movember stash is really coming along, what a soup strainer.

 

[Samus44]

Who was it who told me Nuge sucked and would never be as good as Kadri and I said Kadri took a while to be good and their careers took similar paths and this year would be Nuge's breakout.

Yeah.

Told you

No he's a bum weakling who's terrible defensively. Who cares that he played the toughest minutes last year in the league and his linemates were poor with one getting traded and another fired, and those were the good ones! lol.

Seriously though it's nice to see it's always been clear to me Nuge was an excellent player who's sacrificed a lot for this team and thankfully Lucic has been a lot more helpful and better this year, especially post Philly loss, meaning he's actually got some help. Hopefully with Puljujarvi and Slepyshev, two big righty's who shoot, that second line can have 2 effective players for Nuge to work with.

McDavid has been a lot worse taking on some of his tough minutes but in the long run him and Draisaitl at their salary are going to have to produce in those situations.

 

[walktheboulavard]

Glancing through the Golden Knights twitter feed, many things were the first in franchise history for them tonight; least of which was snow.

 

[Aerrol]

Obviously happy with the win, but it was also satisfying to finally watch a Vegas game where they get shit on like the expansion team they are. f*** the feel good story, GMGM has made some laughable decisions and I want to watch them suffer the consequences.

 

[guymez]

Welcome to the no needless negativity zone.

That was a feel good hockey game for sure.

The team really needed that win. I think Ol Jase correctly called it a statement game.

One thing I really liked in this game is that I did see mistakes but the team didnt compound a mistake with another mistake. They played a clean game for the most part.

Have to think the trade gave them a bit of a jolt tonight.

Looking forward to some added offence in the bottom 6 from Cammalleri.

Very good day today for this team.

 

[Satire]

Fun game to watch. We were the better team by a large margin tonight. Think we get the Blues a couple of times in th next 4 games - we will really need our A game for those games if we hope to finish November at .500.

Hopefully this us the season turning point!

 

[Samus44]

I feel like I'm getting closer.

Lucic looks odd in that photo...
