I am just here to let everyone know - McDavid and Drai have nearly zero commitment in their own zone. Purely there for show, doing nothing effective.
Archibald and Gagner....... McDavid
C + C + A = success???
Oilers are blinded by McDavids insane skill and are making a line based on 1 ****ing person. Every other line has some sort of plan to it. McDavid literally gets scraps and it drives me nuts. JP would look nice right now but that's not happening so use him now for the love of Gord something.
Went from work ethic 60 to 0 in 6 minutes. Troubling game to watch, seeing us thinking we had the game wrapped up in the first 6 minutes and getting outcompeted for the next 54 minutes.
The player I was intently watching at the game was Benson. Does not look like he has NHL wheels so hopefully it was nerves and a team around him that was not very good.
Are you on Team Haas now?

I like Gagner playing deep down in the lineup. Kharia on the other hand contributes absolutely nothing.unacceptable loss last night.
we desperately need depth in our forward group.
sam gagner or khaira should not be in the lineup
Both got beat clean missing their assignment in the d zone that lead to a goal against last night. Primary people responsible for the goal against in those. Just one of many for both McDrai through the year.
McDavid especially Has an aversion to pressuring the puck carrier below the goal line. Both fly the zone a ton and get beat by opponents driving to the net. Both being such good skaters I find it very unsettling their lack of commitment for back checking and defense. Especially now that they are THE centers for their line.
I was thinking that he reminded me of Anton Lander. It was one game though, and he was not really playing with offensive guys(Chiasson's line has usually become the worst line).
Why is Yammimoto not in Chiasson's spot on the PP? The kid would be the best puck retriever we have and gives us another option on the break in.
Also, Ethan Bear on that unit instead of Klefbom. Our PP is already good but those two adjustsments gives us two righties and an actual threat to score from the point.
Twice thoughNot the first time I’ve seen an Oilers team mail it in after coming up with a huge win against Calgary
He doesn’t appear to have NHL acceleration and pace. One game like you said.
I’d like to see Bear on the top PP but it’s been pretty effective so I won’t die on that hill. I like the idea of Yamo on the first unit over Chaisson but then they are using Chaisson as net front and not sure Yamo would be effective there. The guy he’d replace would be RNH imo but he’s been working as well. PP like I said I’m not too worried about tho.

I fully expect Tippett to overreact and send Benson and Lagesson to the PB on Saturday.
Even though the only guys that deserve to be up there is Kharia and Chaisson.
Story of their life this year. Win in chunks, lose in chunks. So sick of playing to the opponents level. No way we should have lost the way we did last night to that team. This team has me floored. We could make playoffs, miss playoffs, beat anyone, lose to anyone. I don’t know anymore.Lack of urgency and composure last night. Probably time to make a trade.
They can't miss the playoffs, just full stop.Story of their life this year. Win in chunks, lose in chunks. So sick of playing to the opponents level.

Tipp bugs the **** out of me with his usage of Haas.
86% Corsi and more scoring chances than the second line, but let's bench him yet again.
