I've seen a few..
Perusing over the thread for this game I've noticed a lot of differing opinions on how well the Oilers played.
I think it's because they won when the other team brought the house. I think Nashville gave us EVERYTHING they had.
It actually makes the win more impressive imo. This team last year, would normally have buckled when their opponent went hard. Vegas beat us the last two games with 10 minutes of this type of hockey in each of the last two games.
Here's hoping that's not the case this year.

The worst is that Three-on-Zero poster. His mental gymnastics to discredit the Oilers combined with his subtle digs show his obsession with the team. I think he might be a former fan jaded by the dark years or something.

The team THIS year buckled playing the Preds. The Oilers got blown out the last time the Preds were here, While Woody was still the coach. One doesn't have to go too long to see how much has changed.
That said Hockey is also a fickle game. We gave up a lot to the preds and they had wide open looks, wide open nets, breakaways. it wasn't ideal Oilers defending this time. 3 goal posts as well.
Argument could be made the Oilers were the better team on the whole but only as game progressed. I thought our best period was third. Thats been common lately with the club.
Drai also with another ridiculous penalty at a bad time. The team has to learn ultimately to reduce this kind of shit. Drai is a 10yr pro now. The amount of times he takes a retaliation penalty in a still close game is unacceptable. In playoffs this sort of thing does make a difference.
He says he lives in Whitecourt.
But yes, a disingenuous Canucks fan that tries to discredit everything.
I wonder what happened to jackjohnson... He seems to be gone lol

Agree about Drai. When you are a big time player, you are going to get fouled more than anyone else. He should just ask his elite teammate. And I'm not saying he should bend over and take it, as both he and McDavid are more than capable of playing a physical game and do that very often. but he tends to chase a guy all over the ice and take the obvious penalty rather than controlling himself and waiting until the right moment. And as you say, the playoffs are when it can really hurt the team. Just ask Darnell Nurse.

BTW if anyone wants a laugh, go to nhl.com/predators and their video highlights section of this game. Fast forward to their call of Drai’s goal. Just total capitulation lol.
Eons better than "tucked home" and a college football tangent.

I liked the line afterwards too."Score. They're too good."
Just utterly dead pan.

If they can get past Vegas I think they have a good shot at it.

I think this break came at the right time to allow the Team to reset before the second half of the season.

Oh he is so on the list….
About a year ago I called out his obsession on the mains. Claiming he’d been OP to about a half dozen oil-bashing threads… you know the type… the passive agressive “Will the Oilers miss the playoffs this year”.
He denied it of course, so I did a quick search… he’d authored over 20!
Don’t go necro-ing the old thread, it’s still open and we need it to stay that way!
That guy's as much as a mouth breather as that Divine clown. I added that goofy 3 on 0 idiot on ignore and never looked back since.

Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too, running back to Saskatoon...Dont forget Moose Jaw, Broadview, Moosomin too…
Broadview might be where there's a bathroom on the right, I'm not sure.
I see you've already covered this.

It's the breakdowns. Boston has insane PDO for the same reason. Stats will show high danger chances, saves, shots and goals, but not what led to them
The Canucks are not Maple Leafs high PDO, they are Nashville or Boston. When the Oiler's or Leaf's PDO is wonky, they are often playing on the outside. Early this season the Oilers were destroying nothing but the shot clock, bad shooting luck or playing on the outside? Suddenly the goals are going in and we are getting saves, it's all correlated, and the Canucks have been playing the right way all season.

Hope you made it back safe and sound Tyler.Leaving Edmonton
I was reading the Edmonton Journal this morning and came across this photo and immediately thought of you.
On behalf of all of us, we are glad you keep your clothes on when you do your split workouts!
