[LeonDraisaitl29]

Hyman undressed Chabot that's hot

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

oilers playing awful but still leading . Could be worse

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Leon with a great d play

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

I’m not gonna rag on Arvi too hard, I’m sure he’s smart enough to feel terrible about that mistake himself. Also he scored just before.

It’s crazy to have all these forward options now

 

[K1984]

Isn't that every team?
But yes, it's been abysmal tonight

Other teams generally do a better job of realizing it and simplifying when things aren’t working.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Ok I'll never share a photo on here I promise

And what a goal!

lol. Man when you get my age you will miss those days. My 23 year old is doing a masters in Ontario and when I miss him it’s the little boy I miss the most.

Ottawa isn’t generating anything that isn’t being handed to them by an unforced giveaway.

Basically

Anything they have had (no high dangers) have been given to them.

When we learn to sometimes play absolute boring AF low event hockey, we won't a** clench a lot

 

[syz]

This team needs to play a period before they remember how to execute basic plays. Least they came out of this one ahead.

 

[Duke74]

Draisaitl trash in this game too. Hopefully the break gives him a reset.

 

[CupofOil]

Good first. Much better than the last 2 starts.

It was sloppy but the Oilers skated well and defended well, puck management needs to be better

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Uwwweeeeeeee mommy

 

[Tarus]

Oilers basically dominated the first period while barely able to complete an unhurried 5 foot pass without putting it 2 feet off the mark.

Ullmark must be playing utterly amazing the last few weeks because the Sens look like a terrible possession team, especially on retrievals and breakouts.

Both these teams played yesterday though, so we'll see what they look like when they're more settled in.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

I'm glad the NHL doesn't make the players play on Christmas

Is it just me or does Gene sound drunk?

 

[Arctic Fox]

You both sound drunk. Merry Christmas.

Time to get my duct tape and banana and ball gag

It's game time!!!

That's the duct tape for?

How dare you

Sens played in Van last night, flew here and lost an hour overnight
Makes sense they would be sluggish

For some reason I could see J Skinner getting traded to Boston.

he's gotta agree to it. It's possible, he does not look like a fit here. I liked the signing at the time, but really hadn't seen much of Skinner play, other than highlights. Playing on losing teams for his whole career has probably left him with some bad habits. Maybe it clicks over the next couple months and he realizes what he needs to do to play here, I guess only time will tell.

I think this is a bit unfair. Ottawa is above league average in most possession and shot metrics. It's just that the Oilers are at worst a top 3 possession team in the league and like you said, both teams played yesterday so they might be even more gassed than us.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Beautiful pass dayum

Definitely. The kids can get on my absolute last f***ing nerve, but I will definitely miss this age. Both my kids.

At the beginning of the year when the whole team forgot the season had started, he seemed like the only one trying make things happen. I thought he'd get rewarded with some decent icetime/linemates, but KK had other ideas.

Keep my kids mouth closed so they don't annoy me lmao
