Post-Game Talk: Mile High Club

[snipes]

Toews seems like a great guy. This has been one of the better After Hours I’ve seen.

 

[iCanada]

So BTW, that's Draisaitl's 17th straight game without a penalty.

Gaining a little maturity.

 

[Faelko]

I agree. But if they snub him his contract will be better. So whatevs. If the hockey world wants to keep sleeping on Bouch, it only helps the Oilers.

I wouldn’t mind at all if no Oilers played in that meaningless money-grab tournament and just rested up for the playoffs.

 

[Drivesaitl]

I assume a Fwd will go at the deadline in a deal for a D. Kapanen likely odd man out but boy I like his speed out there.

Isn't he cheap? Man I would retain him if he continues to play like this. I didn't even see the suspect own zone play that people are commenting on. Worked hard and making smart plays and setting up some chances. Intelligent cycle game and what I like is it isn't peripheral with him. Getting to danger areas and putting pucks there.

Yeh I give zero shits about it

Also seems to have good sense in the D zone thus far. Had a great read that lead to a good block in the last few minutes.

McDavid should decline to play since the league hates him.

 

[Dieseloil]

HF Ave meltdown, fire the coach. MacKinnon washed up, trade Rantanen. Hey, they just suck ass.

At least Drai doesn't have to play.

That just means hes gained veteran status with the refs

Agreed

Nice. Got reading material now when I take a dump.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Emberson continues to look more and more comfortable. Played almost 20 minutes tonight, I wonder if they start ramping up deployment with him.

Couple days off heading into Vegas, it’s a trap game but good chance to put a win streak together and show what team they are.

Yeah I feel the same way, hopefully he continues to impress.

We're all loving this. Worst board around. They've shit talked the Oilers so much, and Edmonton in general. Always like to see some adversity there.

Things are going to go to shit with the Rantanen contract. They're f***ed either way. Lose the player or pay WAY too much for him.

 

[McOilers97]

I have them rated appropriately as talentless hacks.

I’d take Andersson or Weegar in a heartbeat, but largely I agree.

I really like the deployment they have right now with him. Just a really good level right now, not giving him too much but making sure he’s getting more and more comfortable. Have no doubt Coffey is really helping him too and Knobs system is great for D-men.

 

[MoontoScott]

Really impressed with tonight’s game. Avalanche are a shell of the team that won 2 years ago, but they’re still dangerous.

Goalie-wise, Skinner was good when he had to be. And on the other end, not that he cost them the game (the Oilers were significantly better than the Avs tonight), Georgiev is absolutely one of the 10 worst starters in the league. Maybe even bottom 5.

2 games in a row that the Oilers haven't been "outgoalied."

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Podz and Kap have been a good injection of size and speed. We still got great coaching and the Twin Powers. If the Vet wingers start coming through and finding their groove, look out, we’ll be a wagon.

it’d be nice just to give mcdavid and Drai a night off here and there too. They’re truly great but there’s too much pressure on them, they’re capable but I want them to have enough in the tank for the playoffs

No more pissy Drai

 

[McOilers97]

They complement each other nicely I think. But especially as I say with Drai. Shoutout to Leon again owning the dot tonight. AV's were frustrated all night. One puck and they can't get it. Also clinical Oilers performance during the 4 on 4. AV's expect to own those.

Gonna focus on a play. Oilers shorthanded on the Brown penalty, 8mins left. Ekholm just intercepts a pass behind his net, does it cleanly and gets the exit. It was a Pronger play. Oilers break the AV's PP cycle and break their spirit. One of many plays that add up to the big W.

Ekholm is unbelievable. I consider him the team’s 3rd best player.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Big time win on the back to back, well done.

 

[McOilers97]

No more pissy Drai

I bet he could still channel his old self for Matheson

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

4 nation's is just trying to hard. I have zero interest. Especially when all the top hockey countries aren't there. Feeble attempt imo

They can get focused down in the playoffs too. We really need scoring throughout the line up if want to go all the way.

Hated them since flat faced Roy played there, their entitled fan base can F¥€k right off.
