I prefer results.
That's a reasonable answer. But how do you judge that? Hitch is giving him crazy amounts of ice time and he's probably dead tired. Or he's caught the McFlu. Not making excuses, but a player isn't going to go full out for 82 games a year. So yes, there's going to be stretches where he looks lazy or tired due to fatigue, illness, injury or a combination thereof.
Agreed. We could come out of this weekend 16-12-2. Pretty solid record all things considered. Would also make us 7-2-1 in the Hitchcock era.Good weekend for the Oilers coming up.
Catch minny on a 2nd half of a back to back.
Then get Cgy on Sunday same thing where they play a late one Sat. Against a tough opponent.
Cgy playing Smith tonight...which means Rittich gets the call sat.
More than likely we get Smith Sunday.
It will also be calgary's 3rd in 4 days.
This weekend should work in our favour

I'm really interested in that Calgary game. I think Hitch's system works to our advantage. They really like to play a wide open style, so if we can choke them out and capitalize on their mistakes we'll have it made.
Makes excuses...then claims he isn’t making excuses.
You’re right you can’t expect him to play like he did against the Flames every game. But he’s played maybe a handful of games this season with that kind of effort. If frustrating to see what a player is a capable of and him only striving to reach that level every fifth game.
Not everything is about me. You made an insincere comment in one post, and then minutes later allude insincerity regarding another poster, in same thread, in contiguous posts. No biggy, I just thought it was a bit humorous.
I'm not the only one that called your comment on Drai out as unreasonable.
Trust me, I sincerely believe Drai is a boat anchor quite often.
So you’re ok with him getting a meaningless assist in a 5-2 loss? That’s a good game and good result for Drai?
This team almost always crumbles when the odds are stacked in our favour.Good weekend for the Oilers coming up.

This is true. But I'm still hoping.This team almost always crumbles when the odds are stacked in our favour.
Oilers fans have the team they deserve.
Including overtime and shootouts, we are 10-2-1 in "one goal" games. 4-1 in regulation and 6-2 in extra time. So I wouldn't agree. Usually when the score is lopsided, we are on the losing end of it.The Oilers need to win both games by a comfortable margin. Playing and mostly winning “next goal” wins games have got to wear on the nerves of JP types and the Dman, because they know a screwup is a goal And most likely a loss.

Getting points and "personal excellence" is over rated in my opinion. Team skills are much more relevant.
Currently Draisaitl plus minus is -1. Youd think Oiler fans would be unhappy with that. Our $9M dollar player is being outplayed at evens, while hes playig with Conner McDavid.

we really should be getting more out of our 3 billion dollar player
somebody reads the newsOur big German might even get it on a line of credit
