Still a better choice than Russell on his off side or recent Larsson

Yup. That was surprising to me. First time I’ve seen McDavid slap his stick like that.
We'll look back at this game as being when Leon (officially) became part of the Selke trophy conversation. The hockey media was abuzz today with his performance during the 5-on-3 for 1:47....oh, and he potted 2 goals!

I can't find an archived game anywhere, and the highlights don't show it besides the shots against, any chance Leon's 5-on-3 PK shift is floating around somewhere?
I am not very good at these things. Cannot get the full shift in one, so I divided into 4 pieces (in chronological order).
First two:

Yup and if we don't qualify him to sign him for cheaper I'm sure there's a team out there dumb enough to throw 3 x 2.5M at him.

Great team game, finally. Not sure why we need to get to desperation point to play with a 60 minute effort though.
The lines were good today and I'm hoping Tippett keeps them as-is for the next game.
Solid Defensive effort from the whole team tonight. Leading 4-1 going into the 3rd we controlled the play and out-shot CBJ. In the last 10 minutes of the 3rd I think CBJ was only able to get 1 or 2 weak shots on net vs the Oilers who were pushing hard for another goal. I love that we didn't relent at any point or give them much/any hope.
Persson back in really changes the look of the back end. My goodness what a difference. And we thought we were going to miss Larsson. Drai is just a beast. He'll likely end up with more pts than McDavid this year, and I'm good with that. Khiara with a goal and a hit. Huh. Keep him with Nuge for the time being. They seem to play well together.
The team needed this win to get out of the funk they were in. Hopefully they can build off this. 1 month into the season and we're sitting 4th overall in the league. As frustrating as some of the losses have been, I'm content as a fan so far.

Since Washington has started the "Carlsson for Norris" campaigning already, there's no reason Oilers and fans can't start the "Drai for Selke" at this point. We have just as good reasoning to be promoting our boy as they do theirs. Need a good hashtag and then start littering it all over the place.

It better! Guy is the best player on the Oilers this year, on BOTH ends of the ice.
