oilers played a decent game against a pretty hot team right now. would have been much different if:
a)refs actually called something
b)that fluke save by Jones in OT on Sekera
c) Yak shot went in instead of the post
I really want to see what this team can do with both McDavid and Klefbom healthy. Too bad playoff chances are likely going to be gone by then.
Judging by RNH's skating and his muffin shot, you can tell he's still recovering from the flu.

Nuge and Eberle are softer than a baby's bottom and will be moved in the offseason. I don't think Chia likes players who are extremely soft
This 9 year old kid, puts RNH to shame with his shoot-out abilities...
In fairness, the quality of goaltending is slightly better in the NHL.
I've seen nuge go into the boards against Kesler and have kesler come out chirping at the ref for a call. He is a guy who walks the line and knows what to do to win battles. He is our smartest player.
I'm not sure I keep him but you can't replace him as easily as you think.
Drai needs to get better, Rnh needs to get stronger and fiercerer...Hall needs to bear down....schultz needs to man the **** up...nurse needs to score from the point.... eberle needs to gtfo....mcdutch needs to descend from the rafters wearing a sting mask etc.
Nuge tried to get a quick shot off low glove, just like he usually tries to go low blocker. Didn't work. Holy **** are you all overreacting.
Do you honestly think he wasn't trying in a shootout attempt with the game on the line? Christ.
He usually puts some weight behind the shot. This one was softer than a pass you'd give to a 3 year old..Nuge tried to get a quick shot off low glove, just like he usually tries to go low blocker. Didn't work. Holy **** are you all overreacting.

Is nuge this year's hall/goat?
I get he's having a bad year. It's frustrating.
I think you need all three centres to push eachother. Especially nuge, his intensity has dropped off huge. I would not call him soft though....and he still needs to get stronger.

Edit: I don't know about others, I was just crapping on his shootout attempt. Nothing else. I like Nuge and hold him to a higher standard than muffin shots
What's funny to me is that RNH scored using that exact same move a couple weeks ago against Arizona, and everyone was all "NUUUUGEEE!!!11"
Watched it side by side with this, and it's literally a carbon copy except one was a goal and the other was a save.
Same move but different result, and now the narrative is he does muffins and didn't try hard enough I guess.
