Post-Game Talk: Oilers score 5 goals and an ENG without McDrai

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

All hail the guy who never ages NUGEEEEEEE

These last few games has been the best he's ever looked in his entire career.

If he keeps this up after McDrai return, AND Jeff Skinner stays with Connor....we might actually be able to outscore our goaltending for once.

Also, can we not have Jeff Skinner play on a line with bums (except Connor Brown) in the next game?
 
Or maybe Nurse can check his man, or Ekholm not block out the sun? Goaltending in the NHL is as much about the 200ft game as the person in net.

A lot of posters looking for the easy blame victim rather than the sobering fact that this team is terrible at net front and slot coverage.

Any D is going to look suspect with Dan Cloutier in net. Dude could've easily batted away that last cross ice pass too, has no hockey IQ in reading plays at all.

I'd rather honestly have Mikko Koskinen in net.
 
Fantastic game from everyone not named Nurse and Walman. Possibly the worst pair against the rush I can ever remember.

Please, coaching staff - please don’t let this pair be a thing where they hang 1-3 goals against per game but we are still addicted to playing them regardless. Please. Just break it up before it actually costs us.

This was an entertaining game. Good complete team effort with all 4 lines playing tenacious hockey.
