This team needs to cut out the 5-10 minute lulls. It absolutely is going to cost them this game if they keep doing that.

Getting pinned in one shift is one thing, getting dominated for 5 minutes isn’t a good habit.

They are really gambling with cross ice passes on the blue line. The middle of the ice is wide open. A fast player picking off a puck can make an odd man rush pretty quick
Yeh I’d agree. They are defineltu pushing to do more, and that’s straying from their system.

Big test for the team now. Can't expect many more PP's, if any. Gotta keep pushing 5v5 and find some way to build a cushion.

They also need to get it out of their head that Seivelov is something special and take the shots that are given to you, they have turned down several high quality shots for a garbage pass that amounts to nothing.

The Oilers sure can be frustrating at times. Pick this one game where we get 3 PP's in one period to have the absolute worst looking PP we've had all of 2024.

FFS all the players on the topline are looking off tonight whether its their PP or first line duty. Botching plays all over.

Drai line is our best line again tonight by miles.

Time for the Mcd line to f***ing show up in this series. Only time McD has been feeling it is with Drai. Conversely Drai with Kane and a rookie working some magic on several shifts.

Word for the first line is STOP trying to pass through everbody and take the f***ing shot. Been saying this every game.

2nd and 4th lines had great periods, Nurse and Desharnais were good as well. Ekholm was solid and the top line had some good moments.

More from the top line and Bouchard, and they'll be really cooking

Interesting how no comments about the goal against pickard, wrist shit from way out that he saw all the way.....not to mention the crossbar that hit him and thebine Vinny saved.

If that was Skinner there would be 50 posts about him
