My thoughts on the game:
- Kosko needs to make a god damn save every now and then. The difference in this game was Markstrom and Kosko. Both teams got their chances but everything dangerous went in against Kosko whilst Markstrom made some huge saves to keep his team in it.
- Bouchard looks amazing. And already looks like the best D the Oilers have and will have had in the last decade. Quick and accurate shots on net. Great instincts jumping into plays, getting open for one timers. Also, looks much quicker on his skates than advertised.
- Pulju was a BEAST. He was flying out there. He was all over the o-zone, cycling like a freight train jumping in and out of plays. Keep him with McD... something really special can come out this pairing... like league dominating special.
- Barrie continues to look good. Offensively and defensively.
- The Flames are a dirty garbage team. Literally risked and nearly took out McDavids legs twice this game. Zero response from Oilers was a huge negative last night.
- I don’t mind the loss as much as I thought I would cause so many things happened this game that shows huge promise for this club moving forward. We should expect that against a heated rivalry like BoA we will most likely end up close to splitting games with the Flames. But overall the club is good enough to make the playoffs and make some noise on the way there.
