Has a nice ring to it.

PP merchant as always.

It seemed incongruent for sure.
That being said...Ekholm is a very smart player and Im sure that whatever he said was worthwhile but I would sure like to know specifically what he did say and why he picked that time to say it.

Guess it was yapping something along "We dont sauce through the zone to blue line in the Oil"

If Cagguila continues to play that gritty pest role he’s been playing then they need to keep him here.

Agree. Cagguila isn't exactly my favorite player (he's largely a 'nothing-burger', to be honest), but the degree of spirited physical play from him compared to most of these warmed-up stiffs this season is highly noticeable.

I do not get the Derek Ryan love this season from Knoblach. Love Derek Ryan -- great guy, great player in a leadership / defensive role for three strong seasons, great bang-for-buck -- but it's time to face the reality that he is cooked. I think this was largely evident through much of last season, but the Oilers org are in love with old guys right now.

Anyway, fun game to watch. But man, the Rangers were ass. Just a horrible effort from them. Zibanejad may be the worst defensive forwards in the NHL (minus 4 in this one).

With about 3.5 minutes left, I was thinking to myself, "Damn! What a great game by Nurse. He's just done it all and been reall impressive in all areas, and-- . . . Ah, sh**!" He had to do a brutal giveaway at the end, just to inflate Stu's GAA a little more.

Oilers now have 1 win this season over good teams. (Unless you count Vancouver, in which case they have 2.)
