Post-Game Talk: Oilers lose the tank battle, win the game

[scotchtapejr]

I really like the effort Kassian has been putting in. I'm glad we didnt get rid of him at the TDD for a 3rd round pick or something.

Hes been working hard and it seems like the game is slowing down a bit for him - the tunnel vision is opening up slightly.

Would still like him to lose his shit once a game though - to keep the opposition on their toes/open up more space and to drag his teammates into the battle.

Josh Currie deserves to play in the top 6

I feel bad for Sens fans tbh

Where is everyone? Seems pretty quiet.

Thanks to bounce.gif, I got one too many warnings and can't like anyones posts for 40 days

I wasn't a fan of Cave when we first acquired him, but he has put together a string of good games. One of our most consistent forwards tbh. Good to see him score one tonight.

We need a shit talker/disturber to inject some passion into the team.

They were trying to do it with Drake before he was traded away, and I thought it was a really good idea.

It's hard to being emotionally invested for 82 games a year so sometimes, it needs to be manufactured.

Anyone know if there are any jerks available in free agency, the draft, or trades this year?

anyone have a vid of the John Tavares post game

This should buy the OBC another 10 years

McDavid for coach.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

McDavid for coach.

I'd like this if I could.

Funny how he watches the Sens score, gives a look, and then goes right back to coaching.

"John, you suck!"

Didn't watch. Glad to see Gagner, Cave and Currie get some points.

Lol at Lucic.

 

[WayneGreatzky]

Thought they were gonna blow it. Happy for Gags and Currie. Kosko played pretty well.

7 points back on WC2, but I still have no confidence in them to make a charge.

Lumbus probably hands them another Leafs-esque whooping on Sat.

"John, you suck!"

haahah, thank you. Definitely seems rattled, and loooool @ you suck

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Another solid game for Kosky @ 0.946%, good bounce back game

If the 2 wildcard teams stay at the same pace, they'll finish with 88 pts. We'll need 28 pts to hit 89.
18 games left. 14-4-0, or 13-3-2, or 12-2-4
Improbable, but with McDavid/Draisaitl and Koskinen's play as of late, it's not impossible

I’ve been there man. Ducks mod on the main boards during the playoffs that one time didn’t like me

Seeing Currie doing well gives me some (likely false) hope that guys like Benson and Marody could step in and not be dreadful turds next season.

Josh Currie deserves to play in the top 6

Said Hitchcock never.

Me too, I almost bought tickets to this game as I live in Onterrible, kinda regret it now. Ah well, it's nice to be able to pity another team.

 

[McDrailers]

I have a soft spot for SGags.

Hitch was FLOWING some koolaid after the game. Absolutely spewing some bs

 

[rboomercat90]

78 points = new career-high for Draisaitl

Guy has been a monster lately. A lot more to his game recently than just goals and assists too.

 

[Del Preston]

Is this the start of the playoff push? All signs point to yes.
