So you can't, makes sense.



So this is a thing.

I’m not sure what 77 for Anaheim was doing on that play, but most players would have challenged Connor and tried to get a stick on the puck to deflect it out of play.

Edit: Looks like that was Vatrano, who is not known for his defensive acumen.

Still don't trust him. A good game against probably the worst team in the league doesn't change much yet. lol. But hey, a shut out is a shut out. He didn't give up 5+ like usual. A good small step.
His average says he gives up about .7 gpg then skinner.

You can tell eastern media drives the narrative in hockey. How else do you explain the Knights and King's moving up in multiple power rankings and the Oilers being 9-0-1 moving down in the one's I have seen lol

Jack is a goof and a ridiculous homer (and some of his banter with Lou is just downright cringy) but at least he makes the games entertaining.

Call me weird but I enjoy the banter, it’s like you’re sitting there with a couple buddies watching the game. Makes the viewing more personal for me anyway, and love that he’s a homer! :nod:

Definitely. Bellingham is 20 minutes once you cross the border and they have a Costco. Even after the crappy conversion rate, your saving 50 cents a litre on gas there.
unreal, and about to get more expensive. Carbon Tax coming into effect

I have only seen them moved down in one power ranking (ESPN - from 9 to 11)

Most of the others I saw have moved them up. For example:
The Hockey Writers from 8 to 3; Daily Faceoff from 9 to 5; USA Today from 10 to 8

How ESPN or any of the outlets you've seen managed to find ways to drop the Oilers in their rankings is certainly hilarious.

In the 2005-2006 season Horcoff had all 3 goals in an Oiler win against Pittsburgh. One goal was even strength, one PP, one SH.
Thanks for digging that up. I never would have guessed Horcoff but I guess it makes sense. He was a versatile player.

Horcoff = Draisaitl ;)
