Post-Game Talk: 1001 Reasons to Watch Hockey

[Victor000]

McJesus getting a little emotional talking to Gene. He’s just the best man, we’re so blessed to have won that lottery, so many great memories already. He epitomizes hockey for this generation.

Just a f***ing LEGEND

I was hoping for surprise congrats video from 99 or something like that, but I am glad they let all the players on the ice to celebrate (which I'm sure most of you know is supposed to be a penalty).

Happy to see Nurse get two beauty goals.

Give him the key to your city, Nashville!

Yeah, the skating component of OT makes Nurse a potentially great weapon out there. He should be in the regular rotation of OT skaters at least.

He’s in the rotation but he’s the #3. They roll out bouchard then Ekholm then him. In woodcrafts day he was the #1 snd started the with the big boys. At worst he should be the #2.

Also feels nice to be only 3 points out of division lead. At this point last year the Oil were probably 12-15 points out.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

He played? Didn't even notice

allegedly.

5-11-1 on their way to being blown out by Carolina before they turned the corner in Washington.

With his skating ability, he should be 1 or 2.

Interesting to see Connor that emotional in an interview. This means a ton to him, and it should, 1000 points at 27 years old? That's immortality right there.

I missed it. If anybody has the video I'd appreciate it.

Really bad when he's out there in 3 on 3 and you don't even notice him. Just dogging it out there.

People should never complain about our superstars again. They're Greeeeeatttttt! Tony the Tiger or something. I'm old I forget.

 

[McFlyingV]

Both of these games went to OT. Oh boy.

Great OT goal

On a side note, Nurse looks visibly happier not just in this game, but this season overall compared to the last couple of seasons. Hopefully whatever malaise he was dealing with is dealt with and he can continue on as a more confident/happy player going forward.

Could it be that he doesn’t have to play with Ceci?

 

[Frank the Tank]

It's not like Bouchard and Ekholm haven't shown they can play well 3-on-3. Knoblauch has been using Ekholm smartly to defend and eventually strip the puck from the other team and then get an offensive D when the Oilers have possession.

That's what shaky goaltending gets you sometimes unfortunately.

Well Sorokin stole one and Skinner stunk

I’d like to see another save from Pickard but tonight was more about lack of PP execution and lack of killer instinct

If you want your mind blown, check out the record over the last few years of:

Congrats to Connor on his 1000th point milestone!

 

[Soundwave]

Believe it or not, they now have a better record than both of the last two years. For a better point total at game 17, you'd have to go back to when Dave Tippett was coach.

Forwards as a whole are still not executing but McDavid has awakened, the D is ok 5-on-5, it bends but generally does not break.

Also it will be sorta sad if the best goalie of this bunch:

Is the last guy.

But what about the goalie-performance-o-meter?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

This is beautiful, we're so lucky he's an Oiler

Yeah its a big triangle.

Oilers own Preds.
