3 out of 4 points this weekend is acceptable.

Too bad they couldn't pot one. I want Pulju back in next game.

Letestu should never be on the ice in OT. He's way too slow. He's also useless on the PP, and a 2 goal game doesn't change that.

Anyways that was one of the most boring games I've watched. I'll take the point and Gustavsson adventure and move on.

Gus... Poke check me once shame on you
Poke check me twice, shame on mejust kidding, what the HELL was Letestu doing? He just let Koivu get past him.

Boring game. 3 points in 2 games is okay. Too bad they gave one to Anaheim.
As much as seeing the Flames win pains me, I would rather them get the points than the Ducks.

This is one reason why we sucked so much last year: we used Letestu as a checking, 3rd line center, which he is NOT. He is NOT good defensively; he bled goals against last year, and I believe had the WORST plus/minus on the team. Thank god he's the 4th line C this year. But what the hell is he doing out in OT? McLellan is a huge idiot sometimes.

Soon as I see Letestu out for the 3-on-3, I said to myself: "He's too slow, he's gonna get beat in a foot race." Didn't expect it to happen twice in 8 seconds and lead to the winning goal. Pretty, uh, "gutsy" decision by Todd there.

Letestu should never be out in OT. Like NEVER especially when they had that extra time with that review ******** why wouldn't you put out Drai and Mcdavid? Mclellan makes some absolutely bone headed decisions night in and night out.

Oilers would have gotten 0/4 points on that back to back in the last ten years... so ill take it... but I don't have to like it

Remind me to try and sell my tickets to the game the next time the Wild are in town. What a boring hockey team.

I mean, I would defend Letestu out there on 3 vs 3 because the other lines are tired, but Tmac does this **** so often that the real only reasoning is because he's dumb.

Fatigue a factor too. But still very frustrating.

I'm sure fatigue did play a factor. But they needed to dig deeper tonight. This was a very winnable game.

It's easy to blame the Wild for being a "boring" team. But the Oilers never once pushed the pace out there. Very content to just sleep walk through the majority of the game.
