He stopped the scoring chance against, watched Makar make the stretch pass to MacK, and got on his f***ing horse.

Head down through the neutral zone absolutely chugging with everything he had left to get to the front of the net.

Like I said in the trade thread, you ship Ross Colton out for a club size box of cold and flu medicine before you think about trading Lehkonen.

Look at how different each guy looked tonight.

F***ing gamer. Lehkonen should be here as long as possible.

Reading the Oilers boards they have two posters with Tom Brady as their name. Do people really just follow the team of the best player in the league? What a boring what to choose fandom.

Sean Walker is tailor made for this team.

A total Bednar defenseman if I’ve ever seen one. Drive the play up ice, dominate possession of the puck.

Yup… this is why I was so excited for him. He will find his way up the lineup and thrive.

 

[Metallo]

The Good: Walker, Mitts, George, Lehky
The Bad: Girard, Nuke, Mikko
The Ugly: Makar, Colton

Had to miss this one. So how did we cheat to win this one?

Abused too many men, but like, in the rules sense

 

[drhiii]

Our team is full of team first warriors , straight up mate.

Straight up.

We had the refs in our pockets again. Somehow we always do against Canadian teams.

We exchanged RyJo with Walker

Good lord, Oilers have started, "holland should have traded for walker thread"...

He must be over the moon playing in a system like this over the chokehold Torts puts on his D.

Looking forward to meeting him next weekend and seeing what he’s all about.

 

[Sea Eagles]

Anyone else thinking or struggling to come up with a team that could beat us ? Every game is so winnable

 

[Avs9296]

Mitts was awesome defensively tonight and picked up a sweet assist on the 2nd goal. Looked a little lost in OT but 3 on 3 is a gong show so whatever.

Awesome to have a 2C.

 

[dahrougem2]

The f*** Cale? Coughing all over Nate in the ot celebration lmao.

100% MacKinnon is sick next game.

I think Winnipeg would be a tough series.

 

[Avs_19]

New guys definitely deserve props. Started off with that great intercept by Mittelstadt in front in the first and he only went up from there.

Walker was obviously great. I really like Duhaime too.

Manson also had an incredible game. Some solid plays by JJ too.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I’m already writing up my rants complaining about CMac not getting Mitts the sniper he deserves

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

I fully expect Walker to move up to play with Manson down the line. That should be the 2nd pairing.

 

[ASmileyFace]

The difference between pre and post deadline in the way this team plays is amazing. Dropped the dead wight and added some quality.

 

[chet1926]

ROFL, can't believe that.

What a difference it is to have a 2nd line.

Honestly one of most fun games of the year both teams played well, and it was super competitive.

Nice 2pts but that's it. On to the next one.

 

[Ncit3]

The refs in this game, yikes! Congrats.

Went both ways. But I'd rather refs call games like this than ticky-tack. Let the guys play.

The funny thing is, he can thrive in both. Such an underrated player.

One thing I don't like in this game, makar TOI 27:31

Sean Walker is a fvcking stud.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I am in my sick bed, feeling sicker than I ever have in life (COVID I think). So I missed the game. But it would be remiss of me to not come in and ask @The Kingslayer his thoughts?

Avs got lucky. Wont last forever.
