Post-Game Talk: A well-Oiled machine

Anyone else think perry touched the kulak shot?

The showed a low angle from the right side and it looked like it went in clean. Perry looking at his stick had me wondering, though.

Looking at the Avalanche roster they really are a 1 line team. Roster is actually pretty poor.

they looked like shit for the most of the game. We spotted them the lead, it was unearned so to speak.

They are what the oilers used to be + makar.

1 line team with no depth.

An excellent response from Bouchard (and Skinner) after getting walked by MacKinnon

I feel like that's just the story of Bouchard's career. He consistently puts up great results and controls possession, but the mistakes he makes look really bad

Their center depth isn't great, but their forwards are ok overall, but that blueline is rough. Middleton is barely better than Josh Brown

Oilers just had the better goalie tonight.

The stats don't really bare that out.

Their guy was +0.02 GSAx, ours was -1.93 GSAx.

I missed the first 2 periods and a half due to playing hockey but what a stunning result
this had "scheduled loss" written all over it...3 game in 4 nights, 7th different city in a row

and yet, they found a way...great heart and resiliency in this group

 

[BudBundy]

I sure didn’t see that comeback happening! Great job from the boys.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Holy shit that's amazing

 

[Dieseloil]

Oilers are the far better skating and passing team, we just have a couple guys who make the same mistakes over and over again.

 

[MoontoScott]

Oldest team in the league. Lost all their speed. etc

Viagra fixes all.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Have not read this thread. Please tell me Arvidsson is not injured? Somebody on Twitter (just a fan) said he hopes he is ok?

 

[McDoused]

Insane.

The W is what matters at the end of the day, the rest is just dressing.

 

[McTonyBrar]

What a WIN!! Best win of the year so far. Skinner was rock solid after the first period. Bouchard finally breaks through.

The Oilers are the best team in the league right now. There’s no denying it anymore

I hope Arvidsson isn’t injured again after that shot block in the third.

Blackwood gave up 4 goals, Skinner gave up 3. That’s the only stat that matters.

We know, but our guy won and made the important saves when they needed them. He has to be better, but like the rest of the team, no quit

 

[CupofOil]

Multi goal comeback wins on consecutive nights in Oilers team history prior to tonight … zero.

And multi-goal comebacks on the road against elite teams. Quite a feat

 

[McAsuno]

Where's that clown ass avs lurker who was spamming laughing emojis on some of the posts in the game thread hiding now?
f***ing loser.

You don't think Skinner had an easier night when the high danger chances are 22-7?

 

[CupofOil]

Blackwood gave up 4 goals, Skinner gave up 3. That’s the only stat that matters.

And Skinner made some really clutch ones which with GSA doesn't measure, sometimes hockey isn't determined on a spread sheet

i wouldn't say the Av's are elite. Its not 20-21 anymore.

He definitely made some big saves in the third and on that last pp of the second. He deserves credit there, I won't argue that.

Arvi is starting to look like a better deal. I like the guy--he always comes to play--that was his rep coming in and he's lived up to it.
