At least then Jesse could play with someone with some skill while Drai and Connor are on the same line.

Once they started hitting we played with more confidence and the offence followed.
I’ve been saying it for years, we have to play a bullying style of hockey.
Then they should get a whistle and call a timeout. Just go offside, it's not hard if you have the puck and want to.

We are built for it, Colorado is not, we should've been playing them tough all game long.

It'd be nice if the Oilers would use their timeout once in a while. I think McD and Drai were exhausted in OT.

Once the big boys started rolling the Avs were hearing foot steps.
Intimidation is a major component in sport that gets so overlooked these days.

Partly because the league is less physical than it once was. I wonder if we should add anther physical defenseman since Nurse isn't as physical as he once was now that he uses so much energy rushing the puck?

True, but I highly doubt McLellan would play them. I really dont care how hard our coach works, he has no feel and doesn't get the best out of players. We have the best player on the planet and and another very highly regarded player, yet the worst PP. That is almost impossible. Our PK would be better with no instruction at all, just road hockey it.

McDavid was still the best player on the ice certainly.
That Landeskog line hemmed us more than a few times though.

Our main guys haul ass into the zone and head straight for the half boards. Predictability at its finest.

As a line they did well in spite of missing MacKinnon.

They dont seem to use the umbrella at all, its baffling. At least on the second string PP, RNH gains zone very well and gets the puck to the net.
Didn't McLellan tell Kassian to tone it down after that game against San Jose where he was all over the ice? McLellan likes a very controlled, systems game with emotions in check- so the bullying style doesn't really work for him

Shit:
Sekera
Letestu
Slepyshev
Caggiula
Cammalleri
Kassian
Klefbom
Mediocre:
Russell
Khaira
Way too many passengers and under performers.
It's actually surprising they get the results they do with so many underwhelming players.

I remember something like that and I don’t get it at all.
We should be playing a high flying kill them all style of play with this roster but we’re a hesitant and mentally fragile group.
Good effort in the third, and not shockingly it all began when Kassian and Looch started dropping guys.

I feel bad for Sekera. Usually a go to for 3 on 3 last year after Klefbom.
He needs a full off-season to recover and rebuild game shape legs.
I hope we don't make a dumb trade with him involved, he was a monster for us last year.

Chia is our GM, lest we forget...we have a few more dumb trades to look forward to.

I don't agree that Caggiula and Klefbom were shit. The rest of the list yes.
I swear to God I didn't know Letestu was playing. Cloak of invisibility and not in a good way.
