Post-Game Talk: Hundreds (thousands?) get scalded in the shower; RZH and McDrai visit Flushing Meadows

[Cloned]

That stupid contract Chia gave Draisaitl is really turning out to be a boat anchor around the neck of the team going forward.

On another note, if the bottom six started chipping in a few to go with the improved zone exits, special teams and net minding this team would be damn near impossible to run with.

Give Holland some more time.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Give Holland some more time.

Oh I’m not impatient whatsoever. He’s done great work - I’m not convinced we won’t start to get a bit more production out of the bottom end.

 

[VainGretzky]

Drai on pace for 102 assists .... German Gretzky really fitting

 

[CycloneSweep]

Give Holland some more time.

He did say they wanted to keep down guys like Benson till after Christmas. Maybe they will be an in house offense boost.

 

[oXo Cube]

Feels like the same winning formula as in 2016.

Not convinced the team is as deep overall and I think they'll have to add someone at the deadline (or preferably before) to the forward corpse but maybe maybe maybe

I see what you did here.

I'm not sold on Benson at the NHL level. If we could trade him for an established Top 6 forward I'd probably do it.

Nuge with those little zombie wristers just picking corners.

I don't know if I'm sold either but neither of us have seen him here so who knows.

good win tonight boys. But against a really bad Avs team, I’ll start believing in this team as soon as we start beating some real teams like the Calgary Flames. Now that’s a winning team full of “cUltUre”

Sorry...but that is not a really bad Avs team.
They have a couple of injuries but that is still a very good team.

The Oilers first line overwhelmed them and so did the PP and PK.

 

[Arctic Fox]

Gotta like this: {stats}

The duo is still top of the league with 1.95 P/G for Leon and 1.76 P/G for McD:

 

[The Batman]

Literally the best one yet.

Agreed.

I still think he is the Batman but I'm just nitpicking at this point.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Y'all know what, fork it. We are a good team. Let's go Oilers!

the avs defence is top notch

I don’t know if it was clear enough but I was being sarcastic my friend
Hard to read over text sometimes lol

they have a very good team over there. We won the special teams game tonight and that’s why we got the W tonight

You never know on here sometimes.

Thanks for setting me straight.

 

[BamaOil]

This probably ages me quite a bit, but I'm sitting here getting drunk on Oilers hype train while listening to Metallica '89 Seattle Concert. Let's goooooo boys!

 

[3IR]

What are everyones thoughts on Jones first game this season? I didn't get to see many shifts of his, seemed like either another pair was on or it was a pp/pk

 

[guymez]

the avs defence is top notch

Makar is an amazing young player.

 

[Senor Catface]

This is our fastest time to 13 wins since 01-02, which was also game 21.

You would have to go back to 85-86 to get a quicker time, where we only took 19 games to get 13 wins.

 

[GodPucker]

4 PP goals to zero. There's your difference.

This game is another example of how damn lucky we are to have McDrai. Oh and that zombie fella is ok too.

One other note. I liked Archibald on the Nuge line, much better fit than Chiasson even if it's only temporary. They need a speed guy on that line whoever it might be.

It is going to be such a big help if Holland can get somebody on that 2nd line. That is all I think about. Huge for Nuge. I hope Holland is pro-active while we are at the top right now and trying to get somebody. Neal is just so slow there. Good on the PP. It will have a good trickle down effect.

 

[FlameChampion]

That was fun.

McDavid was incredible tonight. Draisaitls a beast. Nuge is huge. Kassian is awesome.

Our PP was awesome. Our PK was awesome.

Smith battled and had some good saves, but hes not inspiring much confidence in me.

 

[snipes]

Tied with the Blues for 1st in the Western Conference with 28 points (Blues are ahead head to head and have games in hand though).

Couldn’t ask for a much better start to the year boys.

Leon Draisaitl is the Batman then.
