Well the Oilers certainly tried to goon it up all game.
Fair point. I really feel bad for Draisaitl, they don't deserve him.To be fair, when McDavid is not all the roster that's almost all they have left lol
Was at hockey myself so I missed this. It's never the same watching it after the fact.
I like how balanced the minutes are today forwards and defense. Lindell and Heiskanen didn't play over 25 and no forward more than the 18:40 that Seguin played and nobody less than the 11:28 of Hintz.
I've gotta eat some crow on the Bowness hire. The PK has been amazing all year and I think a good chunk of that credit needs to go to him.
Not just that, but it sounds like Monty lets him run the D all game long, so Bowness is largely the one to thank for Lindell, a rookie, the guy who was supposed to be the #7 scratch, and 3 AHL'ers having the 3rd best league-wide GAA to go along with the 4th best PK%. And yes, the goalies have played well, but all you have to do is look at Gibson in Anaheim to see that Vezina level goaltending won't save a bad defensive team.
My man crush on Roman Polak is growing every game. Leaf fans said he would look terrible anywhere besides being a #7. Yet he’s playing as our #4 during this injury crisis and looking pretty good so far.
Yep. Dudes a PK beast and I love how quick he is to dive into scrums to defend his goalie and teammates.It's crazy how good he is on the PK
