Well ahead of Leon “the bomb” Draisaitl

Drai isn’t a finesse player like that. He’s a poor shootout choice

That slapper almost has a sense of “stop putting me in the shootout” vibe lol
That was absolutely what I detected but its a pretty bad look from Leon. He's treating this like its another ASG trick pony show. Obviously he doesn't like the shootout, we get it, but its still a potentially important point at stake.

Credit to Nuge for being the one Oilers to score out of 7 attempts. jebus.
 
I can get behind he injured. But the reality is that he not good enough to be on the top 6 with thoses kind of performance.

Rest him if there is something or bench if he just lasy. This is completely unacceptable.

If we rest him we would probably lose both of the last two games in regulation. Is that better? We needed both goals from him last game and tonight just to get the loser point each night.

This team is a disaster defensively without Desharnais, the numbers bear this out too, GA has been shit from last year's playoffs to this year (well over 3.3 GAA per game). The only stretch where it's been below 3.3 GAA has been the 12 games that Desharnais was in. What a coincidence.

This team is going absolutely nowhere if Draisaitl continues his shit play.

Unfortunately it looks like McDavid has lost his goal scoring touch lately as well.

The worst thing about losing games is that you come out from under the bridge to post 100 times.

Didnt you also say you'd stop posting after the playoffs?

Apparently all things we say dont come true.
I acknowledged they had a very good first period then stated they needed one more before the second period ended. Seen this movie too many times.

If they play like that against the Avs they’re cooked.
 
Yeah everybody saying “he only plays 13 minutes a night” seems to forget that lots of those mins are on the pk where he is really good. Vinny needs to be back on the team as fast as possible
Hes not really good at the PK, hes average for the Oilers.

Wasn't really that bad. he scored a nice goal and setup both Kane and Yamamoto multiple times. Kane just ain't going and Yama is hardly ever going. I mean thats his line. Injured Kane and a third line player. Yama was so futile they inserted Ryan on the line in parts of 3rd period. Kane isn't right yet. So that line is really weak.

Meanwhile we threw 24M bucks of players on first line, loaded it up, and they weren't seen in 2nd and 3rd periods.

If you told me at the start of the year we’d get 3 of 4 pts vs the Rangers I’d be ecstatic but this one hurt.
