The way he moves gives me JoJo/Miska vibes sometimes, I hope it goes away with time as he gets more confident.
Win an away game vs Blues. It's very good imo.
Maybe they and Oilers fans can get together for a circlejerk support group

Oilers fans would start a fight over who had the saddest orgasm and the bLose fans would call them a racial slur and then send them death threats anonymously afterward
I could be wrong but I don't think Mittelstadt has been on the ice for a goal against yet.

Play Mitts 60 minutes every game. Got it.

Nice evenly distributed ice time for the D core tonight but Bednar leaned pretty hard on the top line

I read it all over social media
Read today that Mittelstadt is too soft for the playoffs and this is how cup windows close by trading players like Byram to fill a hole
Yeah, I know, it made no sense

But...but...Byram could potentially maybe someday in the future be technically better!

That’s shockingly low ice time for the 2nd line (other than Drouin’s PP1 time)

I still think it’s a bit of an awkward fit with him and Drouin together, but he’s getting it done regardless.
I hope we see some experimentation with different line combos in the top-6, but Bednar doesn’t seem too interested in changing it up. It’s kind of a shame for Mittelstadt, because I think you could get even more out of him.
Man that was a sloppy game. I would be curious to know how many failed clears there were. Could have cost us a lot worse than it did.
God that pass nuke picked off on Rants 3rd goal was a thing of beauty.
Juice was alright. His rebound control left a little to be desired but he made most the saves he was supposed to, albeit a little more adventurous that I’d like. Pretty solid performance by him overall.
Mitts is such a beauty. His defensive side is so good and he’s been good offensively too. Perfect center to play behind Mack.
I can’t figure out Makar. I know he insists he’s not hurt but I don’t believe that for one second. He’s putting up points but good lord he hasn’t been himself.
god I hate the blues and their fans. Such a f***ing whiney fan base. Have fun golfing you plugs.

No reason for it. Play Casey more. Hes not a liability and he was brought in to ease the top line minutes. f***in Jared

Had a chance to see highlights. One thing.. is crazy as it seems the science, geometry, physics of Mittelstadt's grip when shooting is impossible. Amazing what he does on his grip.
And Val... damn man. Val.
And as others have pointed out... seeing Mac's aggressive defending.. I mean it is a shear wet dream on Mac's forechecking now-a-days.
And, any day is a good day when Binnington or Notre Dame (at anything) loses.
Mighty Makar
I hate this fu*ken team

What happened tonight with the ice time is one of my frustrations with loading up the top line.
Bednar looks down the bench and sees Val, MacK, and Mikko and says, “Hell, that looks pretty good to me. Let’s send those guys out again.”
JT Compher played like 30 minutes a night under Bednar and Mittelstadt, who is infinitely better, doesn’t get those minutes. Part of that is the special teams usage, but it’s still a bit frustrating when you see usage like tonight.

Mittelstadt played almost 20 against Vancouver and 18 against Edmonton. He’ll get his ice-time.

I didn't think we played very well either. I thought Mack seemed to be deferring all night long and just didn't seem on his game at all.
Mikko played one of his better games in a long while especially skating and overall effort - even though he had that bad turnover as the last man back.
Makar looked uncomfortable on the ice. Might be a good idea to give him some rest - Norris trophy be damned - they seemed to have already decided to give it to QHughes anyways.
I really didn't like the looks of our bottom-6. It seems that without LOC - Colton & Wood just don't have any mojo going. Would be nice to try out Duhaime, Trenin and Kovalenko and also Parise on that right side between now and the end of the regular season to see who is the best fit. Those guys need to find their game and get some chemistry going.
I hope we get Kovalenko in the lineup soon so we can give Cogliano some rest to keep him fresh for the postseason.
