Post-Game Talk: All Good Things Wasn’t Pickard’s Last Story

[Gordy Elbows]

Not sure about the no boots line. Not sure I’ve seen a non McDavid player skate that fast for an open net goal before

I refer to them as the Gangsta line…
Ready to shove the game down anyone’s throats at any time.

Can we put Gagner in for Brown next game? I'm sure our PK would be ok without Brown.

Foegele has had a rough two games also since the break.

Not like it could do any worse than tonight.

Perry is much better with the puck than I expected him to be. When he played with McLeod/Holloway, there were times they weren’t ready for his subtle plays.

I just expected him to agitate and stand in front of the net, but he has more skill than I expected.

He's 10th among active NHLers in goals and that's without being known for an exceptional shot or speed. He's a smart player, and that ages well.

 

[Vagabond]

McLeod was fire with Drai though.

Only for a few games then he went back to being a perimeter player.

You can do it for short times. More as Mcleod gets a bit more experience. I did like the speed boost of McLeod on the line. But its nice to have options, and know and experiment with what they are.

Agreed. Plus it only worked well for a few games and then McLeod went right back to being a perimeter player thinking pass 1st all the time.

The Kane/Perry mix looks like it could be a real thing going forward.

Yep. Enough of Brown. Corey Perry is yet one more player on our roster that makes me want to forget that Connor Brown ever happened.

59 games in a row now without a goal. For a guy that played a lot in topsix. What a joke. A pylon would have goals.

What if that pylon was named Tobias Reider?

Really? That is your first thought after an entertaining win?

Some Oiler fans are the f***ing worst

Maybe now is the right time to get rid of Kane's contract and save us the future headache with this Lucic 2.0 with a non Edmontonian lifestyle.

Get f***ed

 

[snipes]

Kane-Drai-Perry looked great together.

Didn’t like the D pairings. At least Ekholm-Bouchard got put back together.

It’d be nice to find Nurse a top 4 RHD partner of Ekholm’s ilk in a trade near the deadline

 

[Despote]

8 games win streak
16 games win streak
3rd time the charm?

Now it's just a question if its 24 or 32.

 

[TheNumber4]

Ekholm always knows exactly what’s up

this isn't even close to accurate.

that's october 6, 2022. no teams played that day, the season hadn't even started yet.

connor brown hasnt scored since the 21-22 season, its almost 700 days.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

I wasn't sure about the KD-Perry line, but they were actually pretty good!!111!1

 

[mkatcherin00]

Saving as much as possible in the tank to take the biggest shit possible on LA tomorrow.

And they have a new coach bump. Forgot about that. Their first game with the new guy

 

[Da McBomb]

Besides the win... the other biggest highlight of the night for me was finding out that Celine Dion wanted to meet Vinny Desharnais

 

[iCanada]

I kind of hope Draisaitl and Perry play together for a little while longer. I like that Draisaitl recognizes the master of sneaky greasy / game within the game that Perry is too - hopefully some of that rubs of on Draisaitl.

I'm one of Draisaitl's biggest fans, always have been and probably always will be, and I tend to get frustrated with a lot of the criticism he gets at times because frankly it's often kind of bullshit. That being said - I do think at times Draisaitl is weak at that aspect of the game and it shows. He's got the competitive fire to be good to great at it, but he's just a little off and if Perry can flip that just a little bit... Hot damn look out.

Hopefully knob was watching the game and realizes Vinny Nurse is an absolute dogshit pairing

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Great interview with Draisaitl as often is the case. Notable is his confidence in his game and ability/willingness to play with anyone. What one would expect from an elite athlete and top apex player in the world. Killed in the face-off with 64% wins with two beefy line mates adept at pulling out pucks and puck protection. Big PP goal as the finishing winger on a way more active, urgent group effort.

I'm not sure Draisaitl, Kane and Perry will be a long-term thing. But power game and an aggressive volume shooter were big in a sloppy game.

@foshizzle Kane sends his regards.

I don’t know what you mean.

That's tough, maybe we should pressure the media guys to ask him about it everytime they have questions for him.

I think Perry still has his hands. Just not legs lol. Granted he was never always the most fleet footed even during his Knights days

Perry's also very smart on the ice with great hockey sense. It why he can do so much without much for foot speed.

It's to the point now where Brown scoring would be a bad omen. Just keep doing what you're doing Brown!
