time for a 15 game win streak.
Yah, watching the Oilers is like gambling, never know what team you get.If we get back last years Cam then I'll be a happy guy. Would also be nice if we could win 4-3 every night instead of win 7-2 then lose 9-0.
Poor Ellis, should have had at least 20 minutes last night. Glad to have Talbot back though.
I’m irrationally angry that Ellis didn’t play the last 20 knowing that McClellan knew Talbot would be back and that game was lost.
Id walk this off season if I were him. Another org would probably love to give him a shot.As a UFA who's played great in the minors not get an opportunity... Must've been really frustrating for Ellis to watch them go back to LB and his bad goaltending game after game after game.

The inflated narrative that he’s awful? He is generally though. Hey, there’s only 31 positions in the world for these guys and another 31 who get a small piece of the pie. He’s not one of those 62. He seemed more surprised than haters at home when a puck hit him and no tracking ability. His lateral movement was really good, if he could ever learn to stop it once he’d started. I’m not sure what moments fans saw that have them liking him. The “Hamburglar” looked 300x the goalie Broissoit has ever looked in that playoff run and he’s barely holding on to any grip in this league.This inflated narrative around LB is becoming ridiculous IMO.
As for Talbot...hopefully this reset allows him to find last years form. Do not want this years version of Talbot at all.

I honestly believe Ellis was the better goaltender last year in Bako, and this year in preseason he was clearly the better of the two in my eyes. LBs 1 way contract is what kept him here IMO. Hence why I think we sent the wrong guy down. I honestly believe Ellis is the better of the two and by several degrees.
As for Talbot, yes please!!
Also...in last nights game none of the goals were LBs fault. Even on the 3rd goal Lucic made a lazy disinterested play after Bennings gaffe which allowed the Preds to access a prime scoring area and they scored.
I havent seen 1 post calling out Lucic (or even Benning)...dont understand it.
