Post-Game Talk: It’s Pulju, b*tch.

[Da McBomb]

Between Yamo, JP, and Holloway.. this team is going to have some mighty good forecheckers in the future. Hound dogs on the puck

I could see this drafting strategy continue as we need ELC pushing on the wings of our 20m dollar centermen. Just chaos on the forecheck

30 minutes to the waiver wire...eagerly awaiting who goes down for old man Bouchard to get called up.

Someone posted a tweet earlier in this thread where Stauffer said in the post game there may be a player or two headed for waivers to make room for Bouchard.

I thought I read it somewhere that it was hinted at some veteran guys going on the waiver wire to make room for Bouchard.

The Pulju gif is on the NHLs Twitter account

 

[McSuper]

I steal GDT wins just like the Oilers steal games from the Jets.

I don't think they stole the game . I prefer kicking some ass . In honour of super girl I give you .

Chiasson should be one of them IMO. Neal, Jesse and Yamo are all better PP options than Chiasson at this point.

 

[nabob]

Ok fine...but its in there isn't it? "Its not all nurses fault" or something

Not sure what you mean. But if you’re trying to say that a turnover that happens when Nurse is on the bench, then yes it’s not his fault.

 

[Louis Cypher]

He was even faster than I originally thought. Damn.

And why was that not a penalty?

 

[nabob]

And why was that not a penalty?

Such an obvious chop at his feet as he blows by the defenseman. Almost criminal that refs can just decide what’s a penalty based on the score and the time of the game.

also, people said he was only able to do those things in the Finnish league because it was low quality of competition...well he just did it in the NHL too as forced the Dman to take what should have been an obvious penalty.

 

[Louis Cypher]

Is Lagassen waiver exempt?

 

[Spawn]

Is Lagassen waiver exempt?

No, he would require waivers. Right now the only two guys on the active roster we could send down without waivers would be Yamamoto (exempt) and Shore (already cleared).

 

[McSuper]

They bring in a RHD who scored close to 60 points in back to back seasons not too long ago and it turns out that Klefbom or Nurse are better fits on the Oilers PP. That's so 2020 which just so happens to be happening in 2021.

You do realize Avs fans always said Barrie wasn't good on the PP . I remember this like it just happen . RNH++ for Barrie and many Oilers fans were willing to do it because the PP would be better . Many Avs fans told those fan he wasn't good on the PP . Here we are years later just figuring out what we were told years ago .

Khaira as well? Since he cleared earlier.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Ennis waived

 

[nabob]

6 shots last night alone. How many shots does Kassian have all season?

I think McDavid is the real star that isn’t getting enough credit for last night. Put the team on his back and set up the tying and winning goals.

I recall Avs fans saying that in his last year or two there that he finally became a good PP player.

IMO it has to be said that Pulju winning so many pucks, going to the right areas and pressuring his ass off allowed Connor and Nuge to play with the puck on their stick far more than they have for the majority of the season. Is he the best player on that line? No. Was he the straw that stirred the drink? IMO yes.

Ennis waived

Feel bad for him. He might still not be up to speed from the injury. He has not been good. He and Kass were not good at all last night.

 

[Del Preston]

Koskinen appearing out of nowhere is really funny for some reason.

 

[McOilers97]

Honestly, Chiasson/Ennis/Khaira all haven't brought anything to the table so far this year. I feel bad for Ennis because he had the leg fracture and maybe he needs some more time to come back from that, but he hasn't accomplished a damn thing yet this season.

 

[MessierII]

I thought kass played great last night. Easily his best game of the year.

Maybe Holloway could be a perfect fit with McDavid on LW in a couple years.

I remember 5 or so years ago when McDavid named Lucic and Jagr as "ideal" linemates for himself. Holloway + Puljujarvi at least seem to be similar physicality and play styles, just with a level of footspeed better suited to the modern NHL.
