Post-Game Talk: Kostko is back en vogue

[Satire]

I'm still reeling from the fact that Jack Michaels is so bad at his job and he still has the audacity to go on an incorrect video game rant during play.

Yeah I was shaking my head about that one. Everyone knows Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros were a joint cartridge on the NES.

I like winning. Let's do more for that. Campbell playing well enough in this one too. Let's do more of that too. We need to go streaking here to get us comfortably back in the picture.

Man im happy we have Broberg instead of Zegras.

Desharnais is going to stick on the roster.

We drafted Kostin 4th overall. We traded Samorukov for Puljujarvi

[McTonyBrar]

Broberg's learning curve is coming along. His defensive play, patience and quick thinking has improved a lot the last 10 games

 

[brentashton]

Couple of beauties

 

[AlbOilFAN]

NHL = Bush league
3Bepb = Kostin

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Missed most of the game but that McDavid goal was ridiculous.

 

[Drivesaitl]

I'll just leave this here. Do with it what you will.

Makes me wonder that so much of this kind of stat is based on who you are playing with in 5 man units and against what QOC.

 

[walktheboulavard]

I'm not gonna get too carried away with that, the Ducks looks fully Eakins-ed, Oiler fans should know better than anyone what he does to players.

Why can you say for sure say Broberg won't turn into phenomenal defenseman.

Has everything in the toolbox. Has made tremendous improvements; a guy who was getting blasted every time he had to go back for a puck because he had to adjust to N/A ice to a kid who's now beating everyone back for pucks and moving them before forecheckers can disrupt break outs. He's been good positionally and has picked up a point in 3 out of the last four games.

He keeps this up he can easily very easily be more important player than a one dimensional winger.

 

[McTonyBrar]

OK I'll do it. Share the love. yama with yet another solid outing and the kind of buzz energy game we need from him. He's been good in 2023. He's been good since the all player meeting. Foegele must've not shown up for it. heh

Campbell with another decent outing.

Too bad Kostin didn't get the hat trick. Post got in the way. Nice feed and sentiment from Drai.

Just loved seeing Kostin on the bench smiling ear to ear between McD and Drai.

They must hate this in ST Louis.

Kostin was such a good grab for us. Thanks Holland.

Did you just compliment Yamamoto Drive?

He looked good ..maybe it's just the opposition that made everyone on D look great...well aside from Nurse.

Not sure what Nurse did wrong..

I don’t think Peel realizes how damning an endorsement from him really is.

I didn’t know. I was too poor to be given a Nintendo. f*** we couldn’t afford Pong when it came out.

Funny story, my wife found a Crokinole game at Home Hardware at Xmas and we beat the shit out of that thing with my adult kids over the holidays. My finger nails are now permanently deformed.

Also, from that same Twitter thread:

Last 5 games at 5x5 via NST:

Broberg
XGF- 72%
SF - 65%
HDCF - 73%

Bouchard

Also before we get carried away, his coverage (along with Bouchard who was doing who knows what) was not great on that 1st GA. They're both at fault there.

Lets see, Doesn't touch anybody around the net. Is questionable without the puck. Floats out of position constantly.

Bro is good with the puck transitionally and making quick plays and outs but when he gets caught by forecheck and opponents establish in our zone he runs into troubles.

if playing D was a non contact game Bro would do better. Guy has to grow and strenthen up to play WC NHL.

Nice, at least the league only has to put up with him for a few more months.

Good f***ing riddance.

Usage has been mostly against 4th lines. It’s good that they aren’t getting run over but it’s been against the easiest competition possible.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Contrast that with Puljujarvi who pouts when things don't go perfectly his way.

Kostin is a keeper and we should seriously consider resigning him sooner than later

Usually 21 year old dman with his pedigree that dominate against lower comp tend to translate those results once they're trusted with more ice time/better QOC

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Lost in the Klim and Vinny hype was a monster game from Broberg

He's coming... very very slowly... but he's coming

He's needs to come sooner.

We need 'it'.

[brentashton]

Good f***ing riddance.

How many more games will he be assigned to f*** the Oil over as a going away gift?

Zegras would be a 70+ point player here playing alongside McDavid or Draisaitl, don't kid yourself. Dallas Eakins makes players look like shit and eventually they just stop playing with any confidence.

Whoa. That’s what has got this outfit in trouble, let’s let him ferment a bit more before we cork him.

Hopefully they keep him in Cali as an early going away present.
