Just a much better effort in terms of work rate, simplifying things and taking straight routes to the net. Sometimes it really feels like they're just waiting on the two top guys to pull something out of their bag of tricks. This was much more of a playoff style type of game, which they need, really need to remember.
Good to see Arvidsson and Hyman get goals, and Podkolzin with the fine effort tonight on the top line. Solid, reliable saves by Pickard and even Nurse had a great heads up pass to send Hyman in alone for his 1st.
*edit* Should note Philp as well looking comfortable for the most part on that 4th. Hope he stays up and they platoon Perry / Ryan, even though both those guys have not been issues thus far.

Great game by Leon, incredible how he owns that team. Really good road game by the boys tonight, lots of character in that room, good to see them show up in a big game tonight.
The Oilers always own the Preds but lots of good signs. That Draisaitl line needs to stay together even when McDavid returns, Philp is not only an NHLer he's going to be a good one and Pickard was solid again, I wonder if they're tempted to run with him for a bit.

He might look like a baby face still but in reality he’s older than Old Man Bouchard

Oilers need to call guys up more often. Get some energy into the lineup. Play Ryan far too often.

Janmark - Henrique - Brown is a bad line that doesn't work and we should stop trying it.
Philp is clearly a better option than Ryan.

He'll be fine. Not a driver, never was. Too smart of a player not get out of his slump.

Missed the game, about to watch on PVR. Was it entertaining? Leon McDraisaitl took the reigns I presume?
I saw one goal against and automatically assume Pickard was the netminder

Leon Draisaitl seeing the Nashville Predators up next

So seeing as the oilers have to drop the gloves every game now, what fighters are available?

Really entertaining. A fight, lots of goals, a one punch ko.

Move Henrique up to line 2 and move RNH down to line 3.

Another great game by Drai. Superstar efforts in last 2/3 games by him.
Never knew Podz could punch like that. Saw nothing prior to indicate he had that punch. Good for him and if he's willing to slug for the team and continue physical play and boardwork I'll revise all my opinion of him.
Emberson similarly doing enough to be in the lineup I thought and willingness to fight as well.
Pickard fantastic and could have been a star.
Huge game for Hyman and he scored and also setup the last Drai goal.
Pickards fault my 5-2 prediction wasn't right. He's that good. He just robbed Marshassault.

Not sure Henrique really deserves a promotion with his own play tbh.

5 goals on just 29 shots... offensive witchcraft on Halloween night.

Podkolzin's fight, just amazing

I don’t think it’s about deserves so much as it’s about getting some more guys going

Competition for the bottom 6 is healthy. Philip and Cagguila looked great. Leon is Leon. Good to see what this team can do when they get some saves. They’re good enough I think to play above .500 hockey with Mcdavid gone. Keep on trucking.

People mentioned how huge it is getting some legs in lineup. Philps was solid I thought. Cags was critical on one of the goals getting a good shot off setting up the rebound.
Perry too benefits from having some legs around. That way he doesn't have to skate for pucks as much and others can stretch to corners and leave Perry where he should be around net. Sublime goal by Perry, goal scorers goal, and he had another one but wanted to give Philps a goal instead. Nice touch by Perry tonight. Didn't work out but respect your game today.
