Post-Game Talk: LA drowning in Oil tonight

Disagree, I've had so many good interactions with their fans on this site. Imagine how bad this place would be down 3-2 after losing 3 straight years to the same team. I think the high level walkway would be full of HFOil posters jumping.
That’s cool, go over there and read some of the comments. They are crapping all over them.
 
Picks made that Fiala wrap around save look so easy late in the third. Stu doesn’t get there to stop it.

In a game we throughly dominate, PPs 3-2 for them. Seems impossible.

Mad props to Kane. Scores a goal, sends a message but stays controlled against Gavrikov and doesn’t kill Clarke for that ridiculous cross check.
 
Hyman post game... "Picks making every save he needs to make, as a player that gives you confidence that if you do your job everything is gonna work out,"

Must be nice for a change.
Isn't this the whole story? This is whats been stated here for years. Nice to hear the players actually saying it so much this season.

When McD went up to Pickard at end of game 2 waiting for him on bench I knew that was the message and that the team would lobby for pickard, which I'm sure they did.
 
Waiting to hear from all the posters who wanted to trade Kane all year, said he was done and wouldn’t bring anything in the playoffs. Such a key glue guy on this team, incredible how he’s playing after missing an entire year.
Need guys like Kane, Frederic, Brown, Janmark in playoff hockey. They wear down a team. Hyman has been playing that role as well. Even a guy like Podkolzin is throwing his weight around. I was happy that line scored. People on board have been calling for Knobbys head but I think he has been using the players correctly. Hillier not so much
 
Arvidsson and Podkolzin with under 10 minutes again very interesting usage. They play with Drai for a bit and then their minutes plummet.

A bit like Kostin and Yams a few years back, they're not true top 6ers, but they do outstanding work hounding the puck and can keep up with a skilled centre when needed.

If you're going to run McDrai together, you still need a line where you can toss them on occasionally for a different look.
 
Drai called it the other night in the post game interview.

He said that a number of guys were working up to game speed after the injuries and layoffs. It showed tonight.

How long has it been since we have seen an "A" game like that from the Oilers?
The 7-1 drubbing of a desperate Utah team before all the injuries started piling up, starting with Draisaitl that game.

The McDavid beeline to Pickard and now Hyman saying this speaks volumes. Let’s not forget that Drai point and huge hug in the New York game. Your goalie constantly letting softies in and taking no accountability grates on a team.
