Post-Game Talk: Oilers 4 Sharks 3 - Hitch a ride to McDavid

[North]

he’s been great at making the key saves. Poised for sure. Talbot would have already been pulled had he been in net.

Kane and Couture would have used Talbot as a shooter tutor.

 

[Oilhawks]

Obviously Hitch can't take credit for the McD and Drai show, but I will say this - he showed more game management in his first 60 than TMac showed in his entire tenure.

Putting Looch-Brodz-Kass together looks brilliant initially. All 3 looked very comfortable together. Let's hope it continues.

Absolutely crushing line. I like it!

 

[McClelland]

Great hustling tonight, never gave up, came back 3 times and won! Koskinen will start against ANA now when Todd is gone, He was freaking good, those saves wasnt routine saves. So now we know how it feels to have a goaltender who actually makes a difference!

Hoping this can be a new start to turnaround this season!

I really am relieved in such a huge way they pulled off the win.

Lets goooo baby

LOL thiccc

 

[Soundwave]

I hope Hitch is more vocal with refs, Todd wasn't strong in that area. Too much garbage that other teams get away with that needs to be called out.

 

[Tom Brady]

Right before Drai score Pavelski blatantly slashed McDavid and there was no call, I ******* hate the zebras.

I'm not sure, but I'd assume being third all time on the NHL wins list would get you some respect from the refs?

 

[Da McBomb]

Can the NHL change it to 60 minutes of 3 on 3?

 

[McOilers97]

Not a ton of shots on net tonight, but the team was forechecking hard and creating offensive zone turnovers. Maybe just a temporary thing because of new HC, but it was great to see anyway.

Koskinen was really good tonight. Not a doubt in my mind that Talbot would’ve let in 5 in that game. Give Koskinen the Anaheim and LA starts too.

They want to keep out of Hitch's doghouse, they'll keep forechecking.

Thank god for our "THICCC NEW DADDY!"

That'll be his new nick-name from now on.

 

[Oilhawks]

Oilers caught up with Sharks on shots by the third. They also dominated the play IMO. If they got a real PP like they deserved in the third it would have been a regulation win. Better to be the best team in the third period than the worst (like the last two games).

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Despite scoring Couture was -2 tonight.

As good as Koskinen played, he didn’t help his stats tonight finishing .880.

 

[Coffey]

Despite scoring Couture was -2 tonight.

I’m always happy to see Butthead suffer.

 

[La Bamba]

As good as Koskinen played, he didn’t help his stats tonight finishing .880.

That's fine, it will only make his cap hit for new season lower

Sleepy Boy Hitch lol
