The first two are also retired players. Not odd at all to see retired players in the building (though even they seldomly wear team gear), but a current NHLer repping team colors is certainly odd to see unless it's a situation like Brady Tkachuk that year in Calgary as it was cheering on a family member on a team in a completely different Conference.

Klim at 1M allows the Oilers to bring someone better than Foegele or Ceci
There's always the chance they just buy him out as he'd only cost 1/3 instead of 2/3 because of his age. That said I don't foresee them needing the space so I don't see why they'd do it unless it was just because they were pissed about something like this.
This is his 3rd playoffs ever. First he went to the finals. Second he got swept.

Strudwick mentioned that him and Sean Brown were at yesterday’s game, sitting in the stands.
Fixed to Ruin
Come wit it now!
it also means we have to give them an extra draft pick for them to do retain on a 4th line forward.
Not sure its a good idea to spend draft capital to get one year of Kostin when you could just resign Carrick or someone in free agency for that one million dollars.

Literally the exact same play as Archie

Only way I see him in a trade is if it involves Campbell going the other way and they are trying to even out some salaries.

Solid defence...the PP...and the Mcdavid line won this game.
Nice snipe by Henrique too, Hell of a one time by Drai.
Solid win.
Skinner was excellent and this is a pefect example of when sv% lies.
Skinners sv% was 0.892.

Moore probably doesn’t even get a fine. Dops is a joke.

Haha two goals directly off D and a hand suicide pass from Ceci. He was great.

Lots of these guys live there. Laraque flies across the country, Klim is a really unique one being an active player

If Archibald was suspended for that, Moore should at least get one game.
His GSAA for the game was 0.18. So he was there, above average. If Nurse and Ceci didn't have those dumb goals near the end his stats would have looked much better.
Expected goals against was 3.5, he allowed 4, but bad luck and a few bad dplays made it 4 instead of 3. No complaints really.

Dominant win but we really need to stop beating ourselves. It's something that I hoped we had moved on from last year.
Flex your sticks before each faceoff. This shouldn't even need to be said - you're a professional hockey player.
Stop turning your skates into the net. This isn't the first time Nurse has scored on himself and it certainly won't be the last.

At this point you can't expect more from Nurse. This is who he is.

He makes 2 saves, the breakaway on Arvidsson and the sequence of saves in the 3rd, without those this game is very different.
He was excellent.

Skinner really was great.
Both of those goals against were the fault of Ceci and Nurse. All Nurse has to do is lift his skate.
He is such a dummy.
I dont know wtf Ceci was trying to do...lol
I don't think it was worse than Archibald's to merit multiple games, but I do think it is similar enough to at least be considered for a single game. At minimum there should be a fine.

One of the best lines in last nights game...."LA needs to turn this into a street fight to have a chance."
The Nuge
Some say…
Yep. These guys really aren’t making that much on AHL/2 way deals. You’ve got to get your bag when you’ve got such a small window to make the bulk of your lifetime income
Ya with them moving Hertl who’s only 30, they’re clearly not planning on spending to the cap and trying to compete any time soon.
Or do both? Nobody should care about draft picks at this point. If you can improve the team, do it
I'm hesitant to be too critical because we played a great game and it isn't worth the negativity, but if "puck deflecting off defender's skate and into the net" was a tracked statistic, Nurse would probably already be an all time leader. Currently it only happens occasionally, but his in his first couple years it was chronic.
I think the message from that are those are details that matter and players need to pay attention to. Didn't matter tonight, but both plays could have been catastrophic detail errors in a different type of game.

I don’t know what Ceci thought was going to happen when he threw the puck into the middle of our own zone. Could have thrown it anywhere else and it probably doesn’t end up in our net.
