Post-Game Talk: Oilers beat the Knights

[walktheboulavard]

Bruh! That would be a line of 3 tanks blasting other teams to pieces. 1 Canadian, 1 German, 1 Russian.

Teams matching up against that line:

 

[McDoused]

That was a big goal by Jeff Skinner too, man that was a heck of a time for Stu to go impersonate Mike Smith (and not in a good way). We needed that.

Im happy for Jeff. Hopefully he finds a role on this team. We need guys who can snipe pucks and I do think the guys like him as a teammate. He's got a fun personality and always talking on the bench. You need that kind of player when a lot of guys on this team are quiet or serious. I think we lost some of that from McLeod, Foegele and Ceci.

Would also be a waste of your posts because nobody would see it. Maybe suggest it to a few other posters here.

Lol. To me I would do it for the troll job.

(Jk, mods, jk)

 

[McDoused]

I thought this team was too old and too slow.

As an Oilers fan it is shocking how much I like watching the d-corps play. Steady, move the puck fast, makin plays, constantly filling in as the 3rd man on a rush, switching on the offensive blue line, skating…

Kudos to Coffey’s philosophy to get his guys to push it, definitely done more than years of scaredy cat coaching.

Locker room cancer!!!

 

[LevelingSolo]

Hate the goalie. Love that song.

Right such a banger

 

[FlameChampion]

Always nice to put the boots to the Knights. Hate that franchise. Nice to get some scoring throughout the lineup .

Skinner made some nice saves tonight but the second and third goals were pretty woof, especially the third one obviously.

Glad JSkinner scored that goal right after and saved a potential collapse.

Oilers are rolling at the moment.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

No it's not. It's better decisions making predominantly .

Yup, bang on. Nurse has mitigated the impulsiveness in his game. He's staying in structured, team defending within their system. It's been about Nurse simplifying his game versus some sort of external factor. He's been a consistent twenty+ minute tough situational d-man, double figure goals and thirty point defender.

Now that said the coaching deployment move of the season has been moving Kulak to 2RD filling that significant middle pair responsibilities and toi. He's complemented Nurse well as both are great skating D that can transport the puck. Kulak's added more offensive rush to his game as well.

Nurse's credit is on his focus to manage his own game with its strong, distinctive elements while reducing the high risk breakdowns trying to do too much. Assist to Paul Coffey who's been a huge influence on this important cornerstone player.

Yup, all about player execution and mitigating bad decisions! 80/20

Idiotic narrative from those who over react over a few games.

If you're going to impersonate Mike Smith f*** ups then you better impersonate his save percentage.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Got to give Coffey / KK applause for solving the 2RD problem creatively with still seeing Stetcher / Emberson playing meaningful minutes. And credit to the coaches and Nurse for a bounce back and glad to see he’s got most of his speed wobbles out of his game. When he plays a controlled game he’s excellent.

Idiotic narrative from those who over react over a few games.

Lotsa that.
See Nurse. Schwartz

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

It’s amazing you barely hear about how great drai has been from the eastern media. Just awful blinders they have

Keep it that way. We don't want him signing a massive contract.

 

[TB12]

Would’ve loved to see Kane on the ice today. Game like that should be a big reminder why he’s still got a huge role to fill on this roster.

Eichel doesn't want that smoke. Kane would have been all over that ginger curly-haired f***.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Lotsa that.
See Nurse. Schwartz

Sure, but Nurse was playing unmanageably bad, then figured stuff off and the Oilers are dramatically better for it

Also Schwartz needs to be fired, because change is needed there

The little puke starring down at Kane wearing the blue and orange.

 

[PaPaDee]

McDavid with 1 ast and an even +/- and we score 6 goals, that’s showing real depth. Keep it going

He wasn’t very good today and still a fairly dominant win.

 

[CupofOil]

Reeves knocking Nurse into an elite Dman might be the reason we win a cup this year lmao.

I know this is the running joke but Nurse strung together about 5 or so really good games before the Reaves hit. He struggled a bit early with that silly Dermott experiment but his game took off right around the 10th game or so and has been building ever since.

No it's not. It's better decisions making predominantly .

It helps to make better decisions when you don't have a D partner handling pucks like grenades and aren't overly relied upon to be the predominant puck carrier every shift.

 

[TheNumber4]

Nice to see Nuge snipe one. Maybe that will quell the yearly Nuge slander for a bit. You know he's been here for 15 years now, always a good to great player depending on the year. How has he not earned any rope from us at this point. Nuge will be Huge, always has been, always will be.

Beauty pass too to start the 2nd too. NUUUUUUGEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[TheGingaNinja]

If you're going to impersonate Mike Smith f*** ups then you better impersonate his save percentage.

To be fair, he did both this game.

 

[Chet Manley]

Not a big proponent of violence but man I wanted the score to be lopsided enough for Stone to lose some teeth with about 5 minutes left.

 

[TheNumber4]

Starting Henrique's line was an interesting and good choice from Knob.

JSkinner looking more and more confident and finding his timing. Weaving through D with confident puck control. Once he learns the ins and outs of his teammates and our system, look out.

Podz-Drai-Kap looks great in the 1st as well. Those are some fast horses for Leon to play with.
