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

[Cloned]

Thank god for our "THICCC NEW DADDY!"

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

You need to call your gf to help you release some of that pent up frustration

I know people bang the "he must center his own line!" thing, but Leon is on pace for 100+ points right now.

He simply has great chemistry with McDavid, I think we're just going to have to try to manage the whole one-line team thing.

 

[t0nedeff]

Didn't get to see anything on the pp which was literally the thing I was mainly looking to see during the game. Dumb reffing call ticky tack slashes and than completely ignore San Jose doing the exact same thing in the third because it was a tie game.

I thought every line had good shifts but Nuges/Khaira(pre-Mcdavid) were pretty poore. Koskinen has to have the starting job now, right? Drai is gonna break 90 pts if he remains on that line. Put Benning on waivers and call up Bear we desperately need more puck movers and less liabilities at all times out there (looking at you Benning).

Thicc Daddy just threw Rattie a bone in his interview....i guess he doesnt mind him.

Working for the Avs.

Interesting that one of the first noticeable changes is that when McDavid gets quick shifted, its his entire line that goes on the ice with him instead of just throwing the lineup into a blender for 5 minutes to get McDavid a bit more icetime. Cagg's with a monstrous 21 minutes of icetime tonight.

 

[McTonyBrar]

McDavid was a monster tonight. Draisaitl too.

Koskinen came up huge on numerous occasions with game changing saves.

Liking Hitchcock behind the bench. Already has the boys playing better. Excited to see what he can do with a little more time.

Now he'll have a day to start instilling his style and system of play to the boys. Hopefully they buy in

Working for the Avs.

Yes although they got more secondary scoring and have the benefit of blue line scoring.

 

[McIce Whole]

So next 4 games to close out the month: Anaheim, LA x 2 and Dallas. All winnable games, IMO. If we manage to go streaking, heading into December with a 14-10-1 record isn’t bad at all.

 

[rboomercat90]

Totally different coached game then TM.

Without question. Hitchcock is engaged in the game, looking for a way to make an impact. Mclellan stood behind the bench.

Darnell Nurse with a team leading 25:04.

Bear was a liability last year in his own zone, he's worse than benning in his own zone.

I'm really liking what Hitchcock's saying in the post game interview.

 

[MoontoScott]

I have a hunch that Hitch will say "Drai is on pace for 100 points if I play him with Connor--yup o.k. that is done. Now let's see what I can do to put the second line in order."

 

[McTonyBrar]

Ugly win, McDavid + Drai working their magic while the rest of the team stunk it up. Timely SHG by RNH and Brodziak though. Also Koskinen kept this team in there by bailing out the group of 5 in front of him over and over.

Did you watch our third line and 4th line? They didn't really stink it up

 

[Mez]

Besides the obvious i thought Russell and Caggiula had great games.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Listening to Hitchcock tonight in his interview was great.

When asked about Lucic to paraphrase "he needs to stop talking about what he is not doing, scoring. He needs to focus on what he can do and has always been good at. Bring good physical and down low and that line is good for him to do that"

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Kyle Brodziak and Kevin Gravel’s best games as Oilers. Caggiula with a strong game as well.

McDavid and Drai best players on the ice by a mile.

Koskinen great when he had to be.

Benning still sucks. Klef/Lars not at their best.

All in all... adequate. We’ll take adequate!

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Hitch looks ready for bed hahah

 

[KarmaPolice]

Oh crap. You just reminded that she's still tied up from last night. Hmm.. Perfect!

Daddy is coming sweetie pie!!!

 

[MessierII]

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

Better than the guy across from him and that’s all that matters.

 

[Cloned]

That post game interview with Hitch was ridiculously good. Damn.

The Thiccness is a beauty

We've all moved to opposite land.

Caggiula has talent and Hitch is pretty good at drawing out the best in players.
