Post-Game Talk: Be still my Oily heart

Bouchard w Nurse (8 min)▪︎ 34.5% xG share▪︎ 3 GA (0 GF)▪︎ 4 SCF / 5 SCA

Bouchard w/o Nurse (19 min)▪︎ 83.9% xG share ▪︎ 1GF (0 GA)▪︎ 14 SCF / 1 SCA

After seeing this and them in past games, watch Knob goe back to Nurse-Bouchard for game 5.....

I say this with full hope it puts something out into the universe that ensures it doesn't happen,

But how about Knob goes back to Nurse+Bouch AND Skinner in net? :DD

Nurse with anybody has been bad news. He’s been on the ice for close to 3/4 of their goals. Not sure where you hide him at this point.
 
Draisaitl clearly still injured but when has that ever mattered? Funny thing… for all the talk about our age and our injuries, we looked like the fresher team in the third and OT.
Podz and Arvi - who I have hated most of the series, had a couple big shifts in OT. Kings just couldn’t skate with them. They aren’t running enough guys
 
That's the thing though - we actually have good depth.

Say what you want about our offseason moves, our roster construction and how we didn't quite buckle down and get going in the regular season and all that, but fundamentally we're a deep deep team. Deeper than last year.

100% agree with this. Biggest roster issues is goaltending and a bit of an unbalanced roster. Kane back and Frederic helps, but not quite enough finishing or net front from support guys outside of Perry and Hyman, when healthy.

Defense is a bit rough but Ekholm was not supposed to be out long term...so
 
Massive swing in special teams tonight. Both PK and PP were near perfect.
Also, Pickard was great. Let in 3 goals, zero in the third and OT. Finished with a .927%. Even last game he had a brutal second but kept the game at 4-3 into the third and shut the door allowing nothing. Stu got worse and worse especially in the third of both of his starts. That was also a huge difference. But yeah, shutting out the Kings PP was huge as well.
 
Did I hear that perennial lazy f*** Kuzmenko got benched today? Happens to him everywhere.

Looks like he got 15 min of ice time

Laughing at the Kings board. Saying Gary called down and EDM gets away with a ton......
Guess they missed that slash on Brown, countless trips and holds on McDavid, puck hitting glass and we still get called. Yes. I can see why they r pissed. They don’t have a clue

This is all there really is to say after that one

Saw that. Also the incessant crying about the 'missed call' on Edmundson after they've run the table with PP calls so far this series.

Calling us whiny and entitled. L o l

I'd imagine Nurse's stats look similar.

Just keep Walman with Bouchard and Nurse-Kulak together. Mix in the occasional Klingberg, and they'll be better off.
