Post-Game Talk: A well-Oiled machine

[SupremeTeam16]

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

Give the Avs two points for high danger chances!

Letting less goals in is what matters here in the real world and in the standings. Hockey’s not played on a spreadsheet

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Wait, it's a she?

Yeah, surprising right? She sounds insane though lol

 

[Jarvi]

So does this chart show that Ekholm had a really bad game defensively? Am I reading that right?

 

[CupofOil]

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

They're elite, it'll show out by the end of the season. Regardless that's just semantics, it was a really impressive comeback win either way.

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

He took a shot off the foot and tried to skate into it for a breakaway but couldn't. He still played it out for a little bit longer but he was looking at his skate on the way off the ice. I couldn't tell if it was an injury or if something was wrong with his skate.

 

[MoontoScott]

We knew that it would take a while to find their legs tonight. There must have been a lot of fatigue come game time.

I think hes hurt

they are a one line team.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'.

Took over this game after a tough first period and ran the show. Huge Skinner save on a PP breakdown was critical. Oil super elites ruled, got better depth scoring help, and this team asserted their will to win what projected as a schedule loss with a ridiculous schedule across North America and time zone jumping.

Prefer to see The Stack Line implemented in game but Knoblauch nailed the call to start them. Bouch Bomb deja vu with his elite shot accuracy scoping the game winner. Playing the Aves always makes for a great game with super elites going toe to toe. Oil win a massive one.

We are damn lucky we can outscore Skinners guaranteed 1-2 blunders early on in games. Good to see him settle down and regroup for the rest of it. Frig woo!

 

[Messrules11]

That was a great game tonight, I was pissed off early but they showed some mettle coming back.
Hell of a slapper from Bouchard.. I did notice McD getting out of the way lol

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I think hes hurt

I think he may have just been tired he had some turnovers, like him offensively tonight.

The group played well

 

[rboomercat90]

I’m sure we all saw this coming

Grease pigs is new.

they are a one line team.

Not if nichushkin and landeskog are healthy

Sadly Pickard's been doing it lately, too. Team might just need to dump and chase for the first 10 minutes of every game so their goalies can loosen up.

 

[Jarvi]

Maybe. It is the 2nd of a B2B on a big roadtrip, it's the mile high city and he might have had a bug the other day when he was questionable. All that adds up for the old boy, I'm not worried. I wouldn't mind seeing his minutes cut back a bit now that we have all but guaranteed playoffs, try and keep him fresh.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Not if nichushkin and landeskog are healthy

but they arent and haven't been for a while.

Landeskog is basically done, even though hes practicing with the team.

 

[rboomercat90]

I was more baffled that people still listen to Craig Button and regurgitate his opinions

I’ve been baffled by this since he became a media member.

 

[alphahelix]

but they arent and haven't been for a while.

Landeskog is basically done, even though hes practicing with the team.

I don’t know if he’ll be able to play anywhere near his level, but they are saying they expect him back. Its weird to see him skating after so long.

I dont know if id consider them elite.

They have no second line center and no depth.

 

[rboomercat90]

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

The eye test tonight confirmed that. The Oilers were skating circles around every other line and winning puck battles all game long.

Sometimes it’s okay just to enjoy the win and don’t over analyze everything. Tonight was one of those games.

 

[syz]

The Kulak goal is so funny. Perry just looks confused the whole time, doesn't even celebrate.

 

[Missing smitty]

Skinner is straight up lucky that this team is a goddamn offensive Wagon...
