Post-Game Talk: Koskivezina

[TheNumber4]

Kosko is so solid. Makes all the routine saves, but comes up when we give up a five alarmer too. Don't care that it's "early". Extend him before his ego inflates and he wants to test free agency for more $$$$$$$

 

[rickysusedsht]

Wow Kosky, and the Hitchcock's played a solid game

 

[McOilers97]

Love that Hitch knows to trust his 3 main forwards late in the game. If McLellan’s Oilers were in that position, I’m sure Lucic would’ve been out there...

 

[oXo Cube]

Ty Rattie was really good tonight

Time to see if the Hitch bias is real.

 

[Satire]

Another important win. Win next game and we are back in the mix.

Sad that McDavid definitely will not win the Ross playing this way but winning is more important.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Ass is still clenched

You could blow an o-ring if you don't unclench soon.

 

[Cloned]

Somewhere, right now, TMac is grinding his teeth.

That gum is getting chewed out.

 

[TheNumber4]

we have to wait till Jan I think to sign a new deal

Oh yeh.... rules. Lol. Well extend as early as you can.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Ass is still clenched

Never unclench.

Especially with this team

Everything is bigger at Kostko

 

[Jumptheshark]

vegas is a head of us--so winning and not giving them a loser point is bonus

 

[BlackDogg]

Another important win. Win next game and we are back in the mix.

I agree, although he had a million chances at goals, not assists tonight again.

The first 10 minute performance by Koskinen is why they won. It's been awhile (2016/17) since the Oil had a goalie who can save them from a poor start. Feels good man.

 

[Duke74]

The criticism of Draisaitl in the GDT was disgusting. The guy is on pace for 90 points and all I read is the same old shit: lazy, hungover, can't move his feet, can't shoot, etc. Meanwhile Nuge gets glorified for one play on the PK. Clearly obvious who HF Oil loves and hates.

And this is the crap that he takes in a WIN.

This gets really tiring. I mean really tiring.

 

[LTIR]

Some stats:
McD 75% on the dot, Klefbom the only Oiler who was minus .
Pulju only 10min of ice time.. His linemate Nuge 20min

 

[Pointteen]

Koskinen is amazing. Super team in the KHL? Yeah he belonged there. He could very quickly get league wide recognition in Hitch's system.

Love seeing the team hold on. Love the urgency defending. Love Hitch for a temporary coach. This season will instill career long good habits for many of our players.

I love Drai, but he was floating tonight.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Koskinen is 92.8% now.

He's solidly in the top 10 among NHL goalies.


2.16 GAA is top 5 as well.

 

[Sempiternal]

I want to see RNH be a career Oiler

 

[Jepprey]

Monster f***en win. Still get heart attacks at the end. But we pulled it out in the end.

They looked pretty good. 5v5. Special teams. Goalie.

Rattie looked good. Benning looked good. Could be that the Wideman and Zykov trades has helped to push them.

I know drai struggled. But like I always say, he could be gassed. Playing with McDavid is different and just last month it was Nuge looking like a slug until they switched the 2. Now Nuge is looking good and Drai is cheeks.

Nurse also looked like he was out drinking with drai this morning. Brain fart after brain fart.

GG.

There's a gum for that.

We love them both and just expect more from Drai on a shift to shift basis. Consistency

I love Draisaitl and I seldom if ever criticize him. Nothing wrong with realizing he had a pretty poor game.

 

[Del Preston]

Benning has had two good games in a row and Khaira wasn't handling the puck like a grenade tonight.

I love Draisaitl, he's my favourite Oiler. The hungover comment was just a joke but he did look really off tonight. Maybe sick or something.

The Good: McHayzeus, Huge Dong Nuge, Cags hustle, Spoon

The Bad: Nurse, Benning

The Ugly: Drai's effort level, Spoon's post game YMCA outfit
