beauty no look pass to McD. Beauty backhand snipe for a goal.

He’s been bad this year, but we don’t have to make up stuff. He’s made plays this year.
Ok I know that one in Ottawa. The point is, you have to think long and hard to come up with stuff RNH does that really stands out.

You just don't notice him do much of anything. He wants that puck off of his stick as fast as possible.

I am all for that if he is setting guys up for goals left and right

I swear, this guy barely looks like he grew from his rookie season lol

Nope. When is the last time you seen him just take the puck and hold it for a while? Drive to the net or make a nice play that he started?

Guy does jack shit. His last play he gingerly skates intot he middle of the ice after crossing the blue line and takes a pu*** shot off a dman that goes into the crowd and he was the first Oiler in the zone

This guy never WANTS that puck. He sickens me this year

You won't win a cup with guys like him/Skinner or are too afraid to get dirty
Yeah, you can't have multiple topsix type forwards playng butter soft. Thing is when we get Arvid back that doesn't get better. Would prefer some size guys with some finish.

Exactly. That should have you taking the open guy for sure. I just don't get it.
Then on the second goal he has zero puck support as the center. He is floating in the high slot like a winger.



No beer in the city though
IN a hockey rink I consider that a plus actually. Prefer going to games without the booze flowing.

Arvy is great for the mix, if the guy could stay healthy lol. He is actually too reckless. I wish RNH/SKinner had about 10% of Arvidssons nuts

Yah, as does every team. Just saw your whipping boy Yamo playing in Tucson last week.

Oilers winger group on pace for 75 goals in 82 games.
Let’s look at the worst teams in the league…
Predators 97
Blackhawks 118
Sharks 95
Canadians 126
Penguins 128

Like….awful awful guys.
Putting this into more perspective. JUSY Hyman and Kane last year had 78. The wingers as a group had 146.

He’s always been a subtle player. Never really a driver. Makes nifty plays; not dominant ones, never has.

I get it though, we need more production from him and like 5 other wingers. One look at hockeydb is enough to know that. Yes still playing his usual reliable 2 way game. Doesn’t make huge mistakes. Just need that puck to go in for him.
