Post-Game Talk: 7 Goals, 0 Drai Points = Me So Sad

[KlefDown]

Hopefully Drai is ok, need that man at nothing less than 100 percent healthy

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

No complaints. I loved everything about that game.

I mean Leon getting hurt his extremely concerning

Utah: 4 players covering Drai on a pk. You'd wish I was making this up.

Utah: Wow we prevented Drai from scoring or getting a point.

Me: You lost 7-1 you silly frignuggets.

Pickard had an unsung night in this one. If thats Skinner getting 31 stops they give him a star. Two scintillating games in a row from Pickard and around the best backup W % in the NHL.

Oilers love playing for Pickard.

I don't think Pickard was particularly amazing, but I agree that if Skinner had the same night he's likely a star and the entire game would have been Louie and Jack glazing him.

He did his job, but I didn't think he was particularly challenged.

He didn't look very explosive... Praying it's not serious, but in reality it will probably impact his play a bit

He made good stops look easy. He did make good stops in this game and from close in and some labeled ones. Just that theres no reaction to it, at all, in the broadcast. But yeah if Skinner was making any of the stops it would be Skinner the Savior coming down to save our souls.

 

[Canovin]

Seriously can’t wait for Frederic and Kane to join the team. Hoping there’s an extra gear to Klingberg

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

I thought Pickard looked exceptionally calm.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Draisaitl was still over 22 minutes, not very much load management.

Scoring. Load Management. Scoring. Why I followed listing all the support scoring tonight. Take a load off...

He was able to finish the game so it’s obviously nothing too serious.

He made a key stop early in the first on a deflection

It's 2025, can get a lot more than that for $200.

Take your wife to the spa, buy a tv.

 

[MoontoScott]

Put together a little winning streak here.

Win the next 3 and the playoffs are virtually guaranteed.

Didn't see all of the game tonight. What happened to Drai?

 

[McDrai]

Nugent Hopkins…picking pockets and picking corners. Monster game from him

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

He didn't look very explosive... Praying it's not serious, but in reality it will probably impact his play a bit

if it was that serious, he wouldn't have played almost 23 minutes tonight...the most by almost 6 minutes

Lightning Snooker Hopkins.

Fastest corner pocket shots in the west.

Suck it wild west

after you get them down that's when you kick them in the nuts

Well, I was cheering for a Utah win tonight. Maybe I should cheer for opponents more often.

Flames, Nucks and Blues all won to boot!

Just bought an OLED TV for a little bit more than $200. It looks amazing and this was a good first Oilers game to watch on the new screen. I've always wanted to buy an OLED TV since I worked on small molecule blue emitters in graduate school. Our materials didn't end up getting commercialized, owing to their cost, but they were the brightest ones of their time.

You should want as many Canadian teams in the postseason as possible. Screw Utah. Screw St. Louis.

 

[LTIR]

You should want as many Canadian teams in the postseason as possible. Screw Utah.

More canadian teams mean crappier playoffs coverage and bad start timings.

Do we have any STL picks left or did we spend them all? Them missing the playoffs would give us better picks. Also, I don't want Holloway making the playoffs.

Whoever makes it hopefully knocks out the Jets for us.

Also, no thanks to cheering for Nucks or Flames to make the playoffs.

 

[McDrai]

Agreed. It’s way more interesting watching Canadian teams in the playoffs. My interest plummets when 2 American teams are facing off

 

[MessierII]

Keep that Nuge line together. Works great.
