The One Where McDavid Returned & We Played Columbus!

[Cloned]

I hope Montreal dress Ben Scrivens on Saturday.

Actually knowing how former Oilers usually play against us, he'll break his own modern day record and make a 70 save shutout.

Is there highlights from the Columbus feed (Fox Sports i think) out there anyone?

Before i can just go to other team's website and the highlights are played from their feed. Now with the new NHL tv, i can only find the one highlight package with music and a lame commentator.

So disappointed with the new everything from NHL...

McDavid would destroy Scrambles.

There are two recap packages. The longer one is the Oilers version, the shorter one features the Jackets' TV crew.

Oh yes i see it now. Thanks!

Still hate the new design.. lol

It's designed like the MLB website (because it IS MLB that's designing it ), and I HATE the MLB website for highlights.

Exactly. The old website was slow and counter-intuitive. They've doubled down on that with the new one to create an utter abomination.
How much money do these guys have to spend again?

Nurse needs exactly lesser minutes. I just saw a damn oilers blogger with an article saying if the oilers should trade Nurse. Like holy ****, give me a break.

I think if you had of read the article instead of stopping at the Headline you might have a different opinion.

It was an interesting article and it made a compelling argument especially considering the timeline of this team.

Really don't know what they are going to do on defense going forward. Sending Nurse down is the easy roster to move to make, but isn't the right one IMO. Yes he is overplayed, but it's not like Davidson is going to come in and play 22min a night and be any better.

I think Davidson was playing 21 or more minutes a game before injury and looked like our best D.

And McDavid undresses him for a sweet goal.

I confirm this assessment

You would be incorrect.

I think Kassian undressing him would be so much better.

19, 22, 22, 19. Pretty close.

The numbers are there he's a 18-19 minute guy. Unless you don't count the majority of his games.

I would prefer to count his most recent as you build up responsibility throughout the course of a year. He was playing well enough to warrant more icetime when Klefbom went down. He showed he can handle it well and I bet he could handle those minutes game in and game out.

17 and 15 two games before those 4. 4 games doesn't make a guy a 21 minute a night d-man.

Davidson has been much better than Nurse over the last 25 or so games.

Edit: that he's played obviously. Nurse is going to be great but he's been making a ton of mistakes lately.

Both would be the tops.

Nurse has been so bad lately he's making an injured Davidson look like a better option. No idea what they're doing with this kid and why.

Considering how nepotistic the NHL is, I would be shocked if they actually hired a real design firm.

It's very likely a former players nephew who wasn't good enough to land an actual job at a firm, so was gifted the job.


Probably done at no cost, simply 'exposure' for the designer.

I have plenty of $200k a year Design friends that laugh at this stuff. They spend their lunches looking and laughing, and picking apart everything wrong with it, like sweet candy morsels.


Here's a bunch of real WebDevs ripping into it on reddit:

Good thing I know the context behind this statement

 

[MoneyGuy]

I think Kassian undressing him would be so much better.

And so much more unlikely.

Its just the latest of lame changes. The reconfiguration they did to the stats pages at start of season was even worse imo as functionality is awful, its harder to find what you are looking for, and the amount of time the search engine freezes on the stats is utter fail. Some days for instance realtime stats or any other but basic stats just refuse to load.

Next critique is that visually I have to scoll all over the donkey splash page just to see the scores. A viewer should be able to click on scores and see it all load in clear all in one view.

I guess one benefit is I can read the NHL site without my glasses...
