Post-Game Talk: Oilers 4, Red Wings 3

[Hynh]

McDavis quietly snuck into 2nd in scoring too

He also moved into 2nd in scoring since he came into the league, tying Crosby with 277 points in 27 fewer games.

 

[Throttlehead]

Strome looked pretty good pre-season, right now I'd rather have Anton Lander.

Lucic needs to be pulled from the 1rst string PP.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Brodziak's coming out party. He was lights out tonight, every shift.
Koskinen was absolutely solid once again, the 2 on 1 glove save was magnifique. 2 of those 3 goals were just unlucky bounces, but he didn't let that phase him or ruin his momentum. I hope he starts more consistently now, battle Talbot for that starter, very healthy competition

2 McPoints, Larsson was a block shotting beast, Benning actually had a decent game
1 pt away from Division lead, keep er goin boys

 

[rickysusedsht]

Sucks Washington lost tonight. They will be fired up for Monday . going to need your A game as they will be miserable

 

[VainGretzky]

Minus the PP time.. Chiasson needs to be on the top PP unit instead of Lucic.

or Nuge the PP needs trhat right shot from left side much more net to shoot at , Nuge should be On half boards on 2nd unit

 

[Faelko]

Whole frickin division is gonna win tonight...bah

 

[OfCorsiDid]

f***in Chicago shit the f***in bed

 

[PinSeeker]

I cant wait to play the Flames. They think they are some team of destiny coming back a couple games vs trash teams. Really hope we smoke'em

 

[TheNumber4]

That WingSpan on Kosko. Wow.

 

[nabob]

Didn’t we hear all summer how his lateral movement is terrible, how is glove hand is weak and he only had good stats because the KHL lied about the stats so Putin’s stacked team could look better than they were?

Looks pretty damn good so far this season.

We’re going to clap the fLames. Like it’s going to be bad; at least 5- 1.

They are absolute hot flaming dog turds in the first 40 minutes of hockey games. They’ve been good enough in third periods that it hasn’t f***ed them too hard yet... but it will.

A lot of posters on here should be eating crow after his last two games.

-16 in the first two periods, +17 in the third.

 

[Duke74]

Man this team is going to be good when McDavid is back to 100%. Quiet/poor game from Draisaitl. Excellent game from Khaira and the fourth line. Much better game from Puljujarvi. Benning continues to look better. Strome still sucks.

Oops, Draisaitl didn't get a point. Time to bash him again.

 

[Duke74]

My expectations for the two are vastly different at this point. Do you think Drai had a particularly good game, or JP had a particularly bad one?

How did Drai have a bad game? Because he went pointless? He set up multiple opportunities and none of them worked out. That's just the way it goes sometimes. Still ended up on the plus side of things, which, according to some of the stats experts on here, is a good thing.

Draisaitl had a strong game and was setting up chances all night. Rieder just couldn't finish.

Didn’t see the game but it’s alright with me if he had an off game. He’s been great lately.

 

[Connor McFries]

Shades of Roloson on Cheechoo.

 

[Duke74]

Supposedly he has been fighting a cold granted at least that is what I heard on hfboards.

If that's the case, I can't wait to see what he does when he's 100%.

 

[Tyrolean]

There's no doubt about that. Swap in Yam or Marody for a game?

Why doesn't Lucic ever get benched? It'd because of his salary and it would be an embarrassment to Chia. If they did the right thing the team would be winning been more. This is the hidden cancer within the team. Luckily they win in spite of this.

And that’s why we’ll win.

We’re good in the third.

I dont think he's a "cancer", and I dont see why we would bench him. He is a good 3rd line player that should not be on the PP. Ryan Strome needs to step it up a lot, pretty much everyone else who weren't producing has done so, our 3rd line center needs to be better. He hasn't helped out Lucic or any other winger on the 3rd line.

I think McLellan feels pressure to play Lucic in certain spots because of his contract (such as PP) .... he shouldn't.

Nothing he said was bashing him, people are allowed to critique your favorite player without your panties getting in a bunch.

I haven’t seen his KHL games but I thought in the Nashville game his lateral movement was the only thing worth critique. It could be he’s just getting warmed up and there’s more where this save came from. I’ve been looking into getting a new avy lately, Koskinen seems like a good candidate.
