They dominated most of that period if you were watching. Thanks for coming out.

Holtby deserved a better fate. The rest of the Caps got more than they were owed.
Oilers 2line has been pretty good. If you actually watched the game you'd notice the whole "in our end all the time/ one of those guys has 9 goals" bit.
I forgot about the really bad ice. It's a garbage arena. I expected a great game so it was a disappointment.
It’s hockeyish and better than a shootout. People hated ties. Teams were too defensive during 4 on 4 ot. Not sure of better alternatives.
And the Capitals dominated the second period......
Anyway good win in the OT for the Oilers, pretty much knew it was coming.

Caps let off in the 3rd and paid for it. Edmonton isn’t as mentally weak this year... well McDrai, not so much Edmonton as they have no other players

That still doesn't explain the "back on earth" part. I think playing for .500 is a requirement to get a "back on earth" after a loss

Our defense is pretty competent (which is nice for once). Though I will agree we have a serious problem around depth scoring from our forwards who aren't McD, Drai and Neal . The last two games kinda highlighted that if we don't get our top lines going we get shut down quick. Just got to hope that we can stimulate it, acquire someone or the prospects in the AHL continue to hopefully uptrend. This offense needs help. The amount we are asking from those two is insane.
Well a win is a win and against a top team even if it was in OT so I will take that. Good rebound from the last two games.

Even as of last year going down 3-1 they would of folded like a wet napkin, it is good to see resiliency being built. Even if I can’t stand the fans here in Edmonton

Relax junior, it’s just a post.
Bad arena and the jets were employing the 1-4-0 trap.
Oilers are 8-2-1 and 2-0 vs playoff teams.

You're right, but you'd think if you're absolutely dominating a team in a period you wouldn't have been outshot by them in that period by 3.

Edm’s top 6 has been great most of this young season, it’s their bottom 6 that needs a lot of work.
It makes sense if it works. Not so many can score so many goals from that spot.

Ovi stands on the dot, McDavid cheats and goes for the long break away pass... all the good players do these gimmicky tricks

No argument here. My comment was more in response to discrediting a win because it was OT.
Caps didn't win in regulation. It's their fault but OV played really well in this game.
I always think it would be incredible to make a highlight reel of McDavid not scoring.
I bet even this season you could have like 15 minutes already of eyepopping dynamite ridiculous chances
