Would take a miracle to get out of that Nurse contract.

I have some dark thoughts. Maybe we could hire Tanya Harding as a skating coach.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

A lot of greasy goals in the 2nd, Drai's mini shift didn't look good at all.. Probably time to get f***ed up on painkillers..

 

[PBandJ]

The boys are generally a good third period team, I'm still confident.

 

[TheNumber4]

Can’t believe this shit right now. So I won’t. Drai will be back for the 3rd. Just had to stretch it out.

 

[syz]

A week off and this team still looks banged up imo.

 

[Ibanez]

Tbf with drai. We scored 2 quick goals and were up 4-1. There's zero reason to rush him back out there.

He was putting some weight down there when he skated. I imagine with the lead they are playing it safe and thjnking towards next game

 

[KCC]

EDM needs to play more like it's the playoffs because they aren't right now. They are just lucky their goalie is so damn bad tonight. lol

McLeod beats the icing then immediately gives it away.

I think that’s the first time he’s handled the puck. He’s awful, his perimeter play is so obvious for playoff hockey.

 

[McJadeddog]

You also overreact about everything.

You were freaking out that theres zero chance McDavid comes back this year.

Yes, I do tend to over react to injuries, guilty there. But to be clear I said I didn’t think mcdavid would be back in the regular season, not the entire year

 

[T-Funk]

Yup, he’s got to hit that guy, not stop like some p***y

Every Oiler on the ice played that whole sequence dainty.

 

[CupofOil]

This isn’t f***ing hard. We just did it in Game 4 and 5 against the Kings.

Stop rimming it around the wall in the d zone, stop trying to hit f***ing stretch passes, stop blind passing, and at this point stop passing in general because we’re firing bullets in our feet with them.

Punt the puck to the f***ing neutral zone and be in the right spot. Beating ourselves for f*** sakes.

The Oilers played very passively in those games against the Kings also. I don't know what happened after Game 3 of that series but the Oilers have sort of been going through the motions since then, flu bug going around?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Awful period by EDM despite scoring a bunch. Their goalie was just brutal. I'm more concerned about Drai being out and how bad they look in their own zone. Passive and not putting in enough hard work.

We are getting shit on analytically which kind of matches the eye test 5v5. We were a step behind LA 5v5 and we are a few behind Vancouver. If Vancouver had an NHL goalie in net we would be in trouble. Have to win before Demko is healthy.

 

[Oilhawks]

It’s funny to hear the Canuck fans heckling Skinner when their own goalie has given up some dog-shit tier goals.

The Ceci and Hyman goals exposed Shitlovs

Their fanbase is exceedingly stupid though, so there is that

 

[foshizzle]

McLeod and Nurse

quite literally the McLeod classic

Him and Nurse on the ice at the same time gives me anxiety

McLeod is actually really good at shot suppression. Nurse is really good at allowing tons of shots on net. McLeod is what Nurse needs.

Oh, Kane has turned back into a pumpkin

 

[North Cole]

Let’s be real. If drai is out cup run is over. Hopefully he’s ok

Yesh it would create some long odds, but The dude set an NHL record with a high ankle sprain. I highly doubt he's out short of amputating his leg.

Maybe I'm too optimistic but he's not Austin matthews.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

this shows absolutely nothing lol

 

[oilers4life5]

This is what our depth is for. Give Drai some rest and pound this one home.

 

[TheNumber4]

McD didn’t look too worried…

 

[McTedi]

A little adversity and this place falls apart lol. Drai is a beast, put some ice on it.

 

[Kerberos]

Yeah the Drai clip doesn't look good. Hopefully it's nothing serious... can't afford to lose him.

Team needs to nut up and close this game out.

 

[CupofOil]

Head athletic trailer didn’t come out.
10 second shift immidately signaled to the bench .
Non contact injury.
obviously never came back out.
This isn’t stuff you wanna hear.

Yeah, that sounds pretty bad.

 

[McOilers97]

I’m so f***ing sick of how bad the mobile version of this site is.

 

[McMozesmadness]

That was a rough period

Hopefully Leon’s ok
