Gold star for Armia ....if that was Yak....can't turnover the puck there...need to move it ...blahblahblah
Holy crap Clendening.

Ebs vs Yak is a funny subject considering neither of them should be on this team next year. Both have been brutal at making the this team harder to play against. One seems to have the IQ but no effort, the other is all effort but no IQ. Both can beat it IMO.
Buff already laid a hit on McDavid late and to the head. I'm not surprisedHall is the only Oiler not afraid to go into Buffs corner, as much as I harp on his IQ I give him huge props for that. McDavid is playing a bit scared tonight IMO.
The thing about Eberle with McDavid, is there's little to no creativity in his game anymore. It's just, "how fast can I get this puck to McDavid."
I understand it's important when you're a guy like Eberle, with his shot, to just give and go and get open, but I miss the old Eberle. The one who used to duck his shoulder, try to drive in, stick handle in the zone and create plays. That's why I always liked him with Pouliot and RNH. RNH would create, but would be defensively sound and Pouliot could come back and support either way, making Eberle the creative on on the line.
Yakupov had what? 4 grade A chances in the first two periods and sprung Mcdavid for a breakaway in the first. Yes, he has been terrible all along I forgot. Coaching? You mean the same group who let Brossoit get lit up last game? the same group that called up Nikitin and plugged into last games line up? The same group that consistently played Schultz 20+ minutes a game? Nah
Was afraid to have the puck in his stick....

McDavid ebs line gets caught in their zone again. Yaks fault?
Creativity isn't the problem imo. The problem is that he just can't win puck battles. If its a 50/50 play, he maybe comes out with it 10% of the time.
