Are we sure Frederic isn't related to DeBrusk...

Also did they not give him the color coordination memo?

Pretty much half of the Oilers top nine forwards.

They just never make it easy on themselves.

And by "they" you mean Skinner right?

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?

Nice look Drai. Kind of how I roll. Least formal possible...lol

born slippy

 

[KlefDown]

What if RNH was the franchise player all along

 

[Drai Fi]

Shots were equal, our guy let in 5 and their guy let in 4 though.

Funniest part about Stu tonight is that he almost had a whole goal saved above expected tonight. Even when he does “well” analytically, he still can’t help himself

That's a pretty damn good group going to be added to the team

 

[Soundwave]

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.

Nuggy has the sniffles…

Having these four in the line up and healthy will be something else…

Kane looks like he just ed his pants

And by "they" you mean Skinner right?

I mean the team that gave up 17HDSC and an xGA of nearly 4. But whatever, this team is what it is.

I think he looks like Papa Smurf

This is a team missing their top 2 players by a long shot.

 

[MoontoScott]

No love for RNH in the title? Lame

He was lights out tonight and he had to be.

Score 5 or get skinned alive.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Name the other 13? Lol

I noticed. But I already know that it’s pointless to argue here.

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.

 

[LTIR]

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

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Nuge and J Skinner silencing alot of their critics lately. Strong game by Rico as well. Good for our depth to get these big minutes and gain confidence without the big 2

I think J Skinner only really had one critic, and that guy is still probably going to send him to the pressbox as soon as everyone is healthy.
