They are awful , so biased. Imagine if draisaitl played in Toronto
Post-Game Talk: Oilers beat the Knights
- Thread starter tardigrade81
- Start date
Nuge and Hyman waking up has been a major part of our offensive resurgence. Hyman’s woes were more bad luck than bad play, but Nuge was frankly rancid for about the first 20 games, a total black hole.
Not a coincidence that the PP, PK, and scoring in general all got going when he got it together. He’s the connective tissue to a lot of aspects of the Oilers game, and when he is off it throws things out of sync.
Hope all our players keep in their heads that they can take down Hill at will. Let him turn into another Markstrom for us
Whenever a goalie has given the Oilers problems it usually just takes us lighting him up once to open the floodgates. Hope that’s the case here, Hill has been basically the only reason they’ve won against us over the last while.
I've been as critical of Nurse as anyone over the last couple years, and let's be honest here...he deserved it.
That being said, he's currently playing like a high-end #1, and it's a thing of beauty. The pass he made tonight to Drai was f***ing awesome.
Honestly to me, it seems like his lateral mobility, and ability to pivot has much improved which is allowing him to get to pucks dumped in behind him quicker, and square up to players with possession on his periphery.
Is there anything to this? It seems to me he's been reported as having some hip issues over the last couple of years which would explain this.
Regardless, he's currently more than earned his contract so far this year. The man has been an absolute beast at both ends of the ice, and looks like he's having a ton of fun out there.
Well deserved redemption arch, that might actually be the biggest boon this team could have possibly asked for.
He's been our best defenseman by a f***ing country mile.
It’s an annual theme in Toronto for random goalie X to randomly pop off and have a good regular season. Unfortunately for them, random goalie X usually gets hurt or falls back to earth just in time for the playoffs each year.
I can't f***ing believe we got this guy for basically free.

Emberson and that silly Podkolzin aren’t Holloway and Broberg, but they’re not that far off either
The Sentors being in a playoff position underscores just how bad the eastern conference is (no offense).
There might be 3 or 4 actual good teams in that conference. Maybe.

idiot LV reffing aside I’m glad to see there was a scrum afterwards
Did anyone do after the guy who threw Bouch into the net two nights ago?

Hopefully the Canadian teams stop hiring complete f***ing idiots to run the show and they get out of their own way en route to a Cup.
Bettman doesn't have to do anything, the franchises all do themselves in. Other than maybe Winnipeg who I think is consistently pretty good.

It's by design. It's the worst kept secret in the NHL that the sunbelt is Bettman's pet project. It's why Sunbelt teams get away with literally cheating (ie. Tampa faking Kucherov and other players' injury statuses to go 20 million above the cap, Stone's injury severity always suddenly flaring up 3 months before playoffs etc) and Arizona being given handout after handout for over a decade, when if the same franchise were located in Canada, or heck even Northeast America, the team would've been relocated in the early 2010s.

Refs are brain dead. No excuse for that missed call. As clear a penalty as there is
Also, I’d be remiss if I didn’t call out the embarrassing age 40+ Golden Knights bandwagon jumpers. It’s one thing for 5 year olds to chase the cool new expansion team that won, but when you have grey hair it can’t be described as anything other than pathetic.
I will say though that the volume of Golden Knights bandwagon jumpers at the game yesterday appeared to be at an all time low. Funny how that works.

I feel like Coffey finally unlocked Nurse.

While I agree with this with where the players are right now. I think Holloway and Broberg have higher upside.
It's good to see the replacements making a difference.

Overall Holloway is a better player. BUT, Podkolzin is a better fit for Leon.

Huh? The Oilers have had much more playoff success than the Jets. Best they did was get Gentleman’s Swept by the Golden Knights that one year and haven’t been able to make it out of the first round otherwise, aside from that one time where they were swept
