Please no more of the 90-19-46 line. Please.

If we want to win they have to sit down. Dreadful, all three of them.

Jones and Perry should never see the ice when teams are trying to lean on the Oil.

It's unfair to Skinner, but it would make way more sense to go with a 3rd line of Janmark-Henrique-Brown and bench the 4th.

Lots of bobbled pucks again tonight, especially from the D.

All that line can do in the d zone is toss it up the wall and pray. As you say, kryptonite when there’s any forecheck pressure.
 
Both of those two names just collapsed after the 4 Nations. Have no idea what happened.

Kulak was playing the best hockey of his career until he had two weeks off. Been playing his worst hockey as an Oiler since.
No Ekholm has everybody playing in situations they shouldn't be.
 
Missing has never been a serious conversation. Really just a matter of home ice or not.
There was a concern when both McDavid and Draisaitl went down. The Oilers did not play all that well in recent weeks and other teams were picking up wins. But they managed to squeeze a couple of wins without big guys, and rivals lost a bunch. So things are looking up now.

Haven't hated Kapenen tonight but how about we don't do any blind between the legs back hand passes to the middle of the ice late in the 3rd period with a 1 goal lead.
 
Neither of those guys have had to take on any more than they did with Ekholm.
Walman has essentially replaced his role it would just be nice to see our new and improved D getting time to gel. That being said shut Ekholm down until he’s as close to 100 as you can get even if that’s all season.

Plus, Calgary losing tonight helps our cause.
