Post-Game Talk: Oilers 8 - Vegas 2

That's still a pro goalie for Vegas that started. He's had his ups and downs so far, but I'd say that porous D was more of an issue than the goals Legace let in. Legace didn't have much (or any) chance on the goals he allowed. The boys earned this one, badly out-shooting and out-chancing Vegas from what I saw (I had to miss over half of the game, unfortunately).

Good game boys.

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

I have some crow for you

Don't jinx it, it's not worth it. He won't admit he's wrong anyhow.

If we win on Thursday we will be 8-9-2.

Last year on November 17th, we were 9-8-1.

We'll figure it out.

 

[Aerrol]

Haha this is so true. We complain alot.

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

Please take him back. PLEASE.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

That was fantastic tonight. I know it's Vegas' 4th and 5th goalies, but the Oilers just completely stomped them. O'jase said Catharsis in the GDT, and I couldn't agree more.

Nuge looking like a #1 overall pick this year.

Bandana guy ripped off! Should've been first star! I'm SOOOO mad!

Bandana guy won this for us.

Lucic looks odd in that photo...

Really? I thought it was a great picture of him.

Thats because he is smiling.

Im surprised Klefbom didn't manage to end up -2 in a 8-2 win.

 

[snipes]

The 2nd .gif of bandana guy is equally as awesome.

Man...what a shame Chia didnt trade RNH and his $6M salary in the off season. What an idiot.

Naw man didn't you hear he ran out of "don't give a f***" pills in the loss to the Rangers. Still had a bit of residual effects in the Washington game but now i think they're all out of his system (i hope...).

He's posing for pictures on the concourse now.

He probably could have got Sam Bennett for him too!

Thats a little optimistic.

Probably a homeless guy with no jacket and McDavid decided to give him a jersey

I will 100% admit I’m wrong if proven so. Not one of those guys. Never have been.

 

[KarmaPolice]

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

He's always had a good shot, and have no idea why people argue with me on that. It's just he prefers to defer. Probably still looking to set-up Ebs out there. That actually might be why he's playing so well: the shackles are off (both in terms of being 'allowed' to play more offensively, and no more defensive baby-sitting for Ebs?. Wouldn't be a true PGT without a shot at my once favorite player (in place and time long, long ago)).

I'd still like to see Drai on that line, with Pulju moving up. But whatever works. Just whatever works use it, and keep on using it. I'm not complaining about the lines anymore. Todd's the coach and he's gonna do what he feels is right, and is hardly gonna listen to some random dude on an internet message board.

, seriously though, how could you not be truly happy for the start to he season that Nuge has had so far.

Indeed.
I am both happy and relieved. I have been defending RNH for 2 years now.

About Nuge, Friedman was on Oilers Now a couple of days ago and answered Stauffers question on whether or not Nuge is a 2nd or 3rd line centre. He, Friedman, said he would be 3rd in Edmonton (which I understand, I mean obviously McDavid and Drai) but when he said 3rd in Calgary I nearly flipped. Freidman said and I quote, maybe behind Monahan and Backlund? Honestly I felt disrespect for Nuge. If you ask me he would be their number 1.

 

[NeverForget06]

McDavid's ho hum start has him 6th in league scoring. If he goes on another run like he did at the end of last year the Art Ross will be his again.
