Post-Game Talk: A Sixy Win

[harpoon]

Not to take too much away from a blowout win, but this game would indicate that the ‘old, slow Oilers’ are capable of playing with speed when they feel like it.

I would have preferred we put out the PP1 at the end. They need practice.

Maybe pp1 should sit
They are so predictable. There are thousands of hours on tape of them running the same play. It's been scouted by every team. Pp2 is probably the better option right now.

If Skinner put up that kind of start consistently, you have no problem with him in net. With how good our defense has been his sv% should look like this consistently, because frankly he wasn't particularly spectacular tonight.

Nurse smiling alot and looking like he's enjoying playing hockey again. That's great.. he's been playing awesome lately.

Captain McDavid is definitely back to form.

PK seems to be coming around which is a great sign too. Just need the PP to pick up the slack.

Worst takes of the night- myself "Podkolzin may never score again" Mez- "Betting sites favor the oilers, time to bet on the Rangers"

Agreed. Imo they need urgency via less time and less starts.

Couldn’t watch the game, but glad the boys came thru with a big game. Only downer is I was up in fantasy heading into this game and f’in useless Zibanejad ends up with negative points, now I have to scramble to make a change for tomorrows games to try and salvage the week. That guy has been horrible all year. Good time for a break to heal some wounds.

Janmark was great on the PK (again). It was like last playoffs where he attacked the PP and made them a liability if they bobbled the puck at all.

He's off to a really solid start this year. Been a difference maker a lot for a bottom 6 guy.

HDSC were even at 10, xGF slightly favored the Rangers.

Janmark... Brown... Henrique all contributing 5 pts between them. It's a must to get that secondary offense going and they helped with that tonight. Even Stecher getting an assist helps in that department.

Good to see Podz FINALLY cash one as well... getting his stick out of the mud would be massive if he could actually turn into something of a goal scoring contributor... even a 10 goal season would be helpful.

Good to see Kapanen get on the scoresheet early as well in his stint here on the Oilers... I feel the longer the players go without getting on the sheet... the more the pressure builds and obviously it affects the entire team when multiple players are in offensive slumps and gripping their sticks harder than usual.

So much of the game is psychological and I really feel that when a team is collectively not able to finish... that feeds on itself and it just gets worse and worse as players either try to force plays or make passes that they shouldn't because they don't trust their own finish and team-wide the team's ability to score at a "normal" rate diminishes even further.

Hopefully this type of game unlocks some of that finishing ability on a team-wide basis and we see more games like this rather than the games we saw vs Minny and Montreal (among others).

At least change up some looks, put Skinner on the top unit.

Which is odd cause the Rangers looked bad from puck drop. Quick kept them alive in the 1st.

 

[rboomercat90]

Nice W. Why the faq they have like a week off now? NHL scheduling sucks.


Oh Ron McLean is up next...*click* TV off

f*** that guy

Yeah, f*** that guy.

 

[McHelpus]

I'm interested what they are going to do next game if Hyman and Arvidsson are back.

 

[rboomercat90]

I would have preferred we put out the PP1 at the end. They need practice.

PP2 ran it the same way they would have anyway. Passed the puck around for 1:30 and refused to shoot. I couldn’t tell the difference.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Not minding the look of Kapanen out there. Whats his contract price? Figure this is a better add than someone like Arvid. With a player like Kapanen you get some skill on puck and cycle ability and playing hard and without the smurf effect that small players add up to. All other things being equal pick the physically stronger player. I always would. Kapanen looking good up here so far.

Only -12--the guy is a wimp

Everyone came to play tonight. Nice to see.

 

[rboomercat90]

Team looked really fast today, so for people who like to harp on that forever, they can play that way too it looks to me.

Don't mind Kapanen, I mean I'm not expecting the moon here, but yeah his speed is noticeable.

Happy to see Podkolzin get his first.

McDavid has 8 goals in his last 8 games. Shooter mentality coming back a bit?

Caggiula seems like such a pest, I don't mind him, liked him in his first stint here too.

If Cagguila continues to play that gritty pest role he’s been playing then they need to keep him here. That’s exactly what this team needs and outside of Perry nobody else seems capable of playing it.
