Once again it’s the stupid puck plays up ice that are costing us.

First Janmark on the 3rd GA tried a cute back pass to nobody rather than just jam it on goal. Puck goes the other way, they make a lazy change and the puck is in the net.

Then Shore decides to put it right on the only Kraken player’s tape on a 3 on 1 then we proceed to get absolutely punked for two minutes the other way.

All we have to do here out is commit to making the simplest plays with the puck possible in ALL zones. We constantly just to unnecessary bullshit that causes possession change then then problems.

I hope the Oilers maintain the token plexi in the deuce minutes to start the third down the stretch so we can knife out a soccered win leaving the Kraken prostrate and gesticulating at climate pledge.

This team is so weird.

We play a smart, simple game against Dallas then two days later we play like we've never done this before.

Just like how we played well against Buffalo and then played our best game of the year against Boston only to then shit our pants in Toronto.

So inconsistent.

Need to up our work rate in the 3rd, but we're in a good position.
The Oilers are just not a consistently hard working team, just not in their DNA for some reason. It's really notable against teams like Seattle, L.A. and even freaking Calgary, teams that go all out every shift. They rely on counter attack and skill to beat teams. As you said, they need up their work rate if they want to win this one.

It takes mental fortitude and maturity to play that way consistently. We still struggle in both departments IMO.

lol this is so true.

We'll completely mail it in for the majority of the game basically never shoot the puck, then McDavid picks up the puck and it's bippity boppy boo Connor McDavid has 2.

Yup, probably still happily up 4-2 if Janmark just puts it into Jones' crest and gets a faceoff instead of thinking he's Connor McDavid. The depth guys on this team need to buy in more often, notably when the team is up by 2 goals already.
