Post-Game Talk: Almost blown away in the Windy City

[Mez]

It just took 50 games for J Skinner to wash off the Sabres stink. That’s all.

Ive noticed it takes most players a long time to settle into this Oilers team...

 

[Messrules11]

I don’t think you can run a line with Skinner and Kane though that’s just asking for trouble defensively.

Never know til you try I guess

I broke up with her in the mid 80's.

Malt liquor beer goggles?

 

[Cloned]

KK's presser: I thought Connor's line was our best line tonight.

Knob knows the art of trolling.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Evander Kane says hello

If Klingberg needed time to get ready, Kane will too. I’d rather get a forward for now. Start Evander on the third line and work his way up

 

[McDrai]

Team has an illness ripping through, guys looking forward to a break. Wins a win. Better to go into a break like this rather then red hot lol

Looked like 97 played to make sure he doesn't get hurt lol

McDavid is definitely battling through something. If only he could bow out of the stupid 4 Nations Cup as that would give him a couple of weeks to rest up

 

[KCC]

Too loosey goosey in their own zone lately which is causing way too many turnovers. Managed to squeak this one out but haven't liked the trend as of late.

 

[BertMcDrai]

Nothing more to say.

 

[BarDownBobo]

Try Henrique on a line with Skinner and Leon. I just don't see the point in paying him 3 million to be a 4th line center.

I like the idea of pairing Henrique with RNH for a bit of a test drive. Add in Brown or Kapanen on the other wing to bring some speed and it should have the makings of a solid line imo.

 

[Ibanez]

Also, god bless Jackie Redmond (a bit of a Rocket herself) for speaking up and putting some respect to the best player in the league.

I kind of forgot about her. Pretty woman she is. And smart too!

You never forget your first love.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

what's the consensus on klingberg tonight? didn't get to watch large portions of the game

 

[tardigrade81]

Win is a win !!!;

what did she say about mcd?

 

[nexttothemoon]

Really as long as they get it done with 2 pts as the result it doesn't matter how pretty or how ugly it is... in fact I much prefer ugly, ugly wins to losses where they come up just short even though they played well and just got bad luck/bounces etc.

McD has taken it easy all year. I highly doubt it's anything. It's a strategy

Last year he complained of playing too much.

I guarantee he is coasting right now for playoffs.

Still fighting mobility. Not bad but definitely struggled with side to side. He also gave up gap control due to skating

Overall tho looks to be gaining progress

Can't win the cup in the regular season. He seems content to let Drai win all the individual awards this year, and I do mean ALL OF THEM.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

I said it a million times this year ... Knoblaugh has been a stubborn ass with his handling of the offense.

Jeff Skinner should be sitting on 14 or 15 goals right now probably, and not trying Arvidsson on the McDavid line was also dumb when he had previously scored immediately there.

Klingberg looks good moving the puck I have to say. +3 tonight.

This Jeff Skinner is a much different player from Game 1 Skinner.

Surprised you don't see that.

Mental illness on display

Or it may be a bit of an act now. Histrionics. She knows.
