Good call out

oilers lose again

imagine having to keep Darnell Nurse over Philip Broberg

6'4 214lb 23 years old and is breaking out this season lol

oh, and they also lost their game today

Brannstrom is not going back to the AHL.

He's got tons of skill. I want them to give him a real shot.

With some work and patience I think we found ourselves quite a gem, even if his ceiling is to anchoring a rock solid 3rd pair defense.

 

[Nomobo]

The Russians seem to produce a lot of good goalies.

Kind of a weird sloppy game, neither team seemed very sharp. Just like last game, won't complain about the win but defensively still not where Tocchet would want them to be. Lots given up in transition tonight.

Lankinen doesn't always look pretty in there but is battling and simply getting the job done. Helped that the Flyers looked completely inept when it came to finishing.

Garland and Hoglander continue to push the offense, both are constantly skating hard and fast. Pettersson with some good moments including the nice assist but again still not where we need him to be.

Thought Hughes had a weaker game by his standards but on the flip side, Brannstrom looked very good outside of one iffy shift in the 3rd. Crisp puck movement, stepped up at the right times, looked more confident. Coaches were willing to give him more ice-time with the 3 goal lead.

Miller hasn't had a great start to the season and now may be hurt. Hopefully it's not serious.

 

[HockeyWooot]

Brannstrom showing he can bring much needed puck movement and mobility to the bottom 4.

Keeping in mind he had no training camp no less practice time before the Florida game, let’s take a bit of time before we judge his fit.

Sherwood was and is my favorite pickup of the offseason.

Pettersson not back to normal but looks like he’s warming up.

Still a lot of sloppy play but will take the W.

Payback for last year's 3-0 loss to Philadelphia. Lankinen and Sherwood were huges adds by Allvin.

 

[God]

kinda hilarious looking at how many teams lack a good goalie, and we just pick up lankinen in september for peanuts

 

[Canuckle1970]

The guys look like they're having fun, on top of playing better, and I'm sure Lank's play has a lot to do with it.
Confidence, baby.

 

[Phrasing]

Missed the game (took my kids to a magic show). Anyone end up in the doghouse?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Me next time anyone talks shit about EP40

 

[logan5]

Lankinen now at .951 save percentage through 3 games

i got 953 with my math

 

[TruGr1t]

Find it somewhat hilarious management didn't really like Brannstrom, took him as a dump, waived him, and now he's en route to being the team's at least 5th best defenseman. But yeah, let's put a bunch of Forborts on the bottom pair.

Nah, stop being so negative

This was a chief Allvin plan all along

Yes, no doubt

While true I’m trying to figure out how that’s relevant in game where the goalies were Swedish and Finnish.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

How the heck did so many other teams pass on Lankinen? There were quite a few teams who needed a goalie and we pick this guy up for peanuts at the end of the summer. Just shocking no one else made a move earlier.

Heinen is just kinda there. Hes a Mik clone so far

Yup. Justin Willman Illusionati Tour.

Quite the opposite. Sprong looked very good and even got a shift with 2 minutes left.

Seems like Hughes and Miller got banged up. Miller didn’t take face offs after the opener and Hughes missed the last few shifts of the game.

the feed went to habs/isles after the van game ended, and varlamov made some good saves in the shootout (plus they have sorokin).

Didn't wanna go back in the stream and miss any of the game to screenshot this lmfaoooo. Ty.

You gotta be lucky to be good, and good to be lucky.

Management held their nose while they took Brannstrom, didn't really seem all the motivated to sign Lankinen, and looks to have burned some unnecessary dollars on Heinen, Forbort and Desharnais ... but the guys they lucked into look to have made up for it. Plus DeBrusk and Sherwood were straight up good additions.
