Bump.
McLeod with another beauty goal and again one of the best Oilers on the ice tonight. Making several plays. Set up his linemates multiple times tonight. In 2nd period one shift McLeod is first Oiler back for the puck, skates it out from behind his net, like a D, and with his filthy speed goes all the way up ice untouched and to another solid Ozone possession. Also in the period McLeod ragging the puck and then a beauty hook pass to the point for a clear shot attempt. McLeod is executing so many plays at high rate of play. Yet it almost nobody else commenting.
This player is really feeling confident and growing game.
I've commented on it, just not in this thread yet I mentioned how he has been much grittier going back to the 2 game set against the Jets. And then said that he has started to look much more comfortable offensively as well. When his linemates start hitting him with give and go passes it will open up a lot more opportunities for him. He is great at passing the puck and then skating into open ice with speed, basically like a wall pass in soccer. The demotion to start the season seems to have really got the lightbulb to go on for McLeod, hopefully he keeps it up and never looks back.
