I think the only way they would work aesthetically is if the entire uniform was gold.
By themselves, they stand out too much from the rest of uniform currently.

Makes the gold on the jerseys look mustard yellow in comparison
Yes it looks like a "party helmet
Do them in black would be more toned down and more
aesthetically right

Despite being held pointless for two games, he is still T-6th in even strength points. I hope he starts shooting more though, only 17 shots thus far for a guy who has always had a shoot first mentality. He just has to trust himself more. What's great though, is that he still brings the compete in every game and never gives up a puck battle and still manages not to take many penalties. Even when is not scoring, he is creating space and loose pucks at a great rate.
P.S. Some other interesting stats: Draisaitl with +11 (+6 more than any other Oiler) and Hyman with the team lowest -4 despite playing stellar two-way hockey. Just tells you about how bad the stat is.

Over ppg still
10P in 9GP
I'd have taken that all day before the season. Keep it up Jesse and start using that shot!

I have noticed that the more he produces the more I expect from him. Going pointless for two games felt like an eternity even though, as you said, he is still over PPG and has registered a point in every other game but those two.

I can sense from Jesse, that he would like to at least occasionally play other PP roles too, not just the "stay in front of goalie" role. He has a great shot, can deliver great passes. What about sharing time with RNH for third key role. McD and Dry obviously won't change.
Why on earth would they change the powerplay with how its going so far. And a HELL NO to replacing RNH with Jesse, RNH is one of the reasons the powerplay has been so deadly.
Probably deferring a bit too much right now. Think that may be semi-regular and natural, based on line mates and age.
We are too dependent on having some guys MCD DRY RNH playing entire power play. If they get injured they are hard to replace if others never get a chance to play other than staying in front of net. We cannot just optimize short term benefits, but build capabilities where we have options going forward. And when we enter spring we cannot have those three guys playing every minute of power play - or we can forget the cup. We need to share load more.
Especially when we lead by several goals, why don't we build options and strengthen other players and their capabilites. Well - if we want to maximize points of McD and Dry then this is understandable. If we want to maximize our chances to win the cup, we don't use them for all of powerplay when we have a safe lead.

Bison King leading the charge tonight
Honestly, I can't believe how good he's been.

He's been good even when he has not scored. The guy can be a wrecking ball out there and I am not even sure he is always trying to do so.

I think that's been the biggest change with him this year. He's starting to figure out he's a big guy and playing with some grunt.
He's played great and only getting better.
He's now the 5th (tied with a few others) at ES points in the whole league. Only Ovechkin and Connor ahead from other teams.
Super nice he has turned it around!
Lets hope he develops even more!

I think Jesse may have listened to some of you guys after the earlier suggestions I read!

Maybe he did, or maybe the Buffalo King of Elk Island that he met with imparted his wisdom that day.
We'll never know for sure
