How has LaLeggia looked? Really liked his game at DU.
He's been really strong. Can't say anything bad about him.
I'm quite impressed with his vision and overall movement and skating. He even has more of an effect in the D-Zone than I thought he would for a guy of his size.
Is Christoffer the Tkachev of this year? (only that he's already signed to an AHL deal)
Nurse is superior to all. And to all a good night.
Nurse just... I feel like he would be the Messier type captain. Play hard for your team, be super skilled but when the time comes, completely destroy someone and be a dick when nessessary

I might prefer Nurse as captain... It they can co captainLove his enthusiasm when it's over. Showing up, even for games that don't matter, matters.
The 'C' looks good on him; too bad Connor had to show up and ruin everything. What a dick.
Say what you will about Andersson, kid had balls for standing up to Nurse and not turtling.
Christoffer is a guy that I'd entertain signing to a NHL deal if he keeps this kind of compete up the whole season. What a hard working player!

Hard to say as they are such different players. I think Christoffer plays a game that will better translate to the AHL and is a player type that the Oilers are lacking. Hopefully he can put it all together, these last few games have been encouraging.
I agree. Showed a lot of hustle, just as he did last night. Same with Rankin. For me those two guys are the most pleasant surprises.
Thing is though, the announcers said Andersson plays in the OHL. He must know Nurse.
If that was a demonstration of his fighting ability then wtf was he thinking?
Pro tip. If you can't fight at all, don't drop the gloves with Nurse. I would have liked to have seen Nurse step back a bit there. Those last few shots were unnecessary imo.
It wasn't great, but did you see Draisaitl get flattened from behind just seconds earlier. Pretty illegal hit imo.What a horrendous call.
I was much more excited about Tkachev.
Christoffer looks like a player who works hard every single shift. I like the kid's hustle.

Hm well contrary to some, I thought Bennett had a few shifts where he was dominant, even though he didn't end up on the score sheet. Nothing wrong with giving your opponent credit where it's due.
That said, what a fun game to watch and to win. Very pumped about that comeback. Nurse is a man out there. Hell of a game by Papirny. Another strong game by Christoffer, loved his drive. Platzer continues to impress me too.
I thought Slepyshev seemed off, from what I was expecting out of him.
