GDT: Game #58: Oilers @ Bolts - 5:30 PM - SN1

[OilerTyler]

I've been paying more attention to xGF because the numbers are thrown around so much. It's funny that Janmark dusting the puck off and taking a wrister off of his back foot is considered a better scoring chance than a Brandon Hagel one timer off of a pass across the slot.

edit: Looks like they dropped the xGF of that Janmark chance down now.

Team is creating high danger opportunities. Then passing out to teammates in low danger ice.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Credit to Nurse he’s having a good season.

Contracts fine with the cap going up

 

[TB12]

"with alacrity"
Hell ya, Michaels. Love a good alacrity call.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Hell of a pass and hustle on the back check for Savoie.

Yeah I dont get it at all. Advanced stat padders.

That was a big boy "I don't want to ride buses in the A anymore" backcheck by the kid.

 

[BlackDogg]

Bouch doesnt look likes he's worth 2M

He played the antithesis of keepaway when he was a lad.

I think a stat that can't account for one timers, odd man rushes or the quality of the shooter isn't very useful

 

[EnufAlready]

Even our rookies dont finish checks

 

[Messrules11]

Not looking good. You'd think they'd have more zip coming off 2 straight losses.

3, but who’s counting

 

[harpoon]

WTF is Hyman doing out there. Another guy who needs to pull his head out and start playing a lot better.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Savoie looks good so far

 

[OfCorsiDid]

So far everyone looks like shit, outside of Draisaitl, Savoie and Stu.

 

[frag2]

K maybe good Skinner showed up. First 5 were saves

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Of course the Caps are sleepwalking against the Flames, lol.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

3, but who’s counting

Oh yeah lol. Even worse

Don’t you know it doesn’t count unless it makes the highlight of the night reel? They have to be pretty.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

That Savoie pass.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Because he doesn’t know how to count to 20?

You win Brent

Watching Hyman and Arvidsson avoid the front of the net like the plague is certainly something and it's certainly something I don't understand.

He blew by his check and got all the way down to block the shot. Great hustle. Hopefully the vets are watching, Savoie is coming to burn your village down.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

OK guys time to drop the 4N references - tournaments over time to move on here.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

"with alacrity"
Hell ya, Michaels. Love a good alacrity call.

Only time I recall seeing anyone ever use that word is a video game. Actually developed in Edmonton, KOTOR.

Injury for Hyman, 100%. His work ethic has never been in question.
