Ive been hard on Nuge this year, but he won almost every board battle tonight, crazy to see, and best game I have seen all year from him

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

I like this version of the Oilers a lot more than last seasons

Super impressed with our play after the 3-2 goal. Really locked it down

 

[Messrules11]

That was a big win. Sitting pretty in the standings.

I better not hear this a 2 player team anymore. Nurse injected himself into elite category with his play this year. Absolute snipe show lol.

Probably the best Oilers hockey I've seen since 2006.

This team has

 

[Satire]

What a great game. We got down 2-0 early and I was thinking we were still in it. Thought the game was fairly evenly matched until the last 20 at which point we just took over. Jets are no slouch of a team either. Great win!

 

[Cloned]

That was a disgustingly Oilgasmic hockey game.

 

[TB12]

The Oilers were absolutely suffocating at the end there. Thats on coaching, for all you Fire Tippett guys

 

[Husker Du]

It’s so good to see us play such sound defensive hockey. We can win a lot of ways which will serve us well.

Hahahahaha

 

[DaGap]

f*** YEAH!!!!!!!

 

[Jumptheshark]

Impressed with this win

 

[McRpro]

I feel so damn satisfied right now. Kinda like after I...nvm.

team came out in the third like they knew they were taking this game


another regulation win!!

 

[Heavy Dee]

Maybe Bear's best game of the year?

 

[BlackDogg]

Nice of Connor to not.pad his stats on empty nets

 

[Aerrol]

That was an amazing game. We're so lucky to have McDrai on this team but also great whole team effort. Love to see it.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Wow, what a great win. Smith stole that one.

?? We were the better team most of the game, we dominated the third.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

HE STAY

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Massive win. Connor is just so much beyond anyone. Loved Archibald's game tonight - he was buzzing all night. Nugent Hopkins was engaged and very very good - just couldn't finish. Survived a suicide pass from Lagesson. Nurse has arrived as a very special d-man. Smith won't get style points but the old man is tougher than a two dollar steak.

 

[SK13]

There are some games in hand at play, but the Oilers are one of only three teams with 21+ wins.

I feel so damn satisfied right now. Kinda like after I...nvm.

like you wanna light up a smoke????

Honestly it is pretty sad not seeing more props for him, he was huge for us tonight even though he didn't score.

 

[CupofOil]

Drai is so damn good at putting his huge paddle blade in passing lanes, such an underrated part of his game. He prevented the Jets from doing anything in the last 30 seconds.

Yeah but he's awful defensively blah blah blah rabble rabble rabble.

The big difference this season besides the explosion of D scoring is that McDavid and Draisaitl have rounded their game out nicely, really good at all the little details this season.
