Don't think I've ever seen one of these graphs so skewed.

Jesus.

Florida is a crappy road team.

Bennett just did a pull up and scored though!

Nice to have a game where the result is never in doubt after the first period. Buffalo is a very bad hockey team, but the Oilers didn't play down to their level this time.

One thing I do like about this recent win streak, everyone on the team is contributing. It's not just Mcdavid/Drai doing all the scoring with announcers gushing about how they've gotten points on 60 or 70% of the teams goals like it's some amazingly good thing, but an actual roster wide team effort.

Anyone else really like Bennett for breaking out after he left the Flames?

 

[gordonhught]

Switch out JP for McLeod please. My only suggestion.

Really strong game by the boys.

Smith looked pretty good. Was at least moving better. Was probably one of the easiest games for a goalie this year though. His puckmoving was terrific though.

All the lines looked pretty good to me. Yamamoto looked really good in the first. McDavid was on, hopefully his mouth is good. Hyman and Draisaitl were really good.

Only guy I saw bad really was Kassian. He just doesn’t do much out there. I hope Holland moves him.

80s Night at Rogers Place. Lets have another one on Saturday

Then I hope the Oilers light up the "Mickey Mouse" version of the Devils.

One thing about Florida. That team doesn’t go away. They will come out hungry in the third.

 

[MoontoScott]

Devon Shore has become an offensive juggernaut. Time to sign him up to a Nurse-like extension.

 

[MoontoScott]

Smith solid, I think he actually sees the puck again. JP looking as clumsy and lost as ever. Good win.

JP really struggled tonight. Everything off the heel of his stick.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Just can't get any closer to LA right now. Keeping the Oilers at 4 points away.

Drai has to start moving his feet on the wall. He's so stationary.

That reminds me of this scene skating on the Bettman "wall".

What does "holding sway" even mean

If this was in the Batman Beyond era, it'd be "holding schway".

Good game.
Smith played good.
I'm happy.

A month ago I would have said that Puls was a higher signing priority in the off-season when compared to Yams but lately the tables have turned. Yams (and a few others like Ryan and Shore) have come to life after the coaching change. In fairness to Puls he's coming off injury but wow he looked shaky tonight.

The good part is, the way both are trending we'll easily be able to fit them under our remaining cap space for next year.

I agree. JP looked pretty shaky. Some of its rust but some of its awkwardness.

Despite that I still think he forechecks well, causes chaos, retrieves pucks and screens the goalie.

Kassian just is invisible out there outside of his poor board play in the d zone.

It would be fun if Draisaitl can score 50 again.

Kassian is such an enigma.

His first game back you say to yourself "looks like he's determined to go on a tear for the rest of the season" but then it reverts to the same old song and dance.

DET wins. Now FL .....

I went with 1/4 for the poll question cuz it’s tough to get in at those molars.

Yamo looks so much better under woody. Amazing what a coaching change can do
