News Article: Sam Gagner, back

[Drivesaitl]

Big game by Gags. All heart this player. Thanks for another good moment Samwise. Once an Oiler always an Oiler applies to this guy. Was really good running PP too. Should get more looks on it.

For all of the shit that this team and city has taken over the years, Gagner was like a kid on Christmas morning coming back again. Hopefully his love of the team, city and game will energize some of our other players.

Gags with two more goals on the season than the great Kostin.

2 more goals than 6 other forwards that have played 6-9 games and 8-14 minutes a night

I knew he'd do something yesterday. Either goal, scrap or something impactful. So happy to see.

McLoed needs to watch and learn from Gagner. The blue paint is where the goals are. Not going wide and swinging behind the net.

He's a smart player, who has some skill and (like I've said over and over) never quits. That motor is part of what the team could use in the bottom-6.

Said for awhile and once we signed gagner that McLeod and Holloway need that vet to have conversations with them. Kind of like how Malone did in Bakersfield. Desharnais spoke very highly about him saying he had a bad game one time and Malone just told him forget about it. No one blames you. We need more of that so guys aren't getting down on themselves. That and the good old "you aren't getting points, find another way to get engaged in the game.

I feel we have a lot of guys with motors in our bottom six problem is they are fighting it so much that the boat is still on the trailer so the motor is doing nothing.

All these guys are flying around out there, but they are kind of just burning energy.

There's a difference between cardio and a motor. Cardio is alot of skate and hitting to no end, Erne.

A Motor, in my mind, is a drive to never quit on the play, game or puck and relentless positive effort.

Ah fair enough. I totally agree. I guess maybe I call it drive or something lol.

Makes sense, sorry for the confusion.

McLeod would end up on IR with a paper cut.

Never seen someone avoid contact like him, makes RNH look like a power forward

It must be incredibly frustrating playing with him. He’s a complete anchor on offence. Last night a winger shot the puck and Wedgewood kicked out a juicy rebound. Sure as shit no one is there because McLeod is 20 feet out skating along the boards.

Posts are actually important to you.
Presumably you are an adult.

Lower number of posts means you’re most likely either a troll account or someone’s burner.
