Jimmy Bob and John John. What you got to say is only one side of the coin. What they did with that shyte was new back then. You might say they pushed heavy metal in the direction it eventually took.

I could see Kapanen slowing down and getting replaced by arvidsson but if Kapanen stays hot I don’t see the issue.

Little bro syndrome obsession. Like how that Flames podcast figured out the exact offer sheet vulnerabilities of the Oilers. And how there’s a thread on the mains by a flames fan trying to figure out what Skinners extension will be in TWO years from now. And another thread by a Flames fan wondering how to get McDavid to leave.
These clowns can’t do anything but obsess about the Oilers.

Yes good news for sure and I agree with you...it was a dirty hit.
One of the issues with this team is there there are precious few players that have the ability to hold a player like Hartman to account.

I don't trust that line enough with Skinner on it. Skinner needs to stay with defensive players like brown and henrique.
I would rather have Janmark, Nuge and arvidson on a line.
Are you serious ? Lol
There's a thread on how to get mcdavid to leave ? Bahahahahaha

Edmonton had 70 powerplays going into tonight
Calgary 84
Boston 110
We need a little more respect
How does one team have almost double our pps. Insane

I don't like the zero response on Hartman. This team should've responded hard and swiftly; especially in a blowout game where you know that shit was deliberately trying to injure, but it seems that bite has been purposely coached out of them.

Nuge and Arvidsson are fine defensively. Skinner needs to play with skill, not our pkers.

January 15th in Minni.
Let's hope Podz gives Hartman a knuckle sandwich or impales him with the goal post.

I would bet on the under and it's just like any game. But I hope I'm wrong...

Boston as an organizaiton has always been elite at drawing calls. Starts right from the top with their GM and Coaches whining for calls any way they can. It’s part of their identity.
Kulak leads the team in ice time tonite!
Nurse leads team with a +3
And I think thats 2 games in a row where the oilers won with 8 hits per game.

Also kinda funny how the "teh Oilers are a SLOW team now!" crowd has magically gone dead silent on that.
"Slow" team that also somehow gets multiple odd man rushes almost every game.

Kapanen has 3 points in 9 games since joining the Oilers vs. 5 points in 16 games for Arvidsson. It's not like Kapanen is forcing anyones hand to stay in the top 6. I still think he and Draisaitl were showing quite a bit of chemistry right before he got hurt. Those 5 points did come in his last 9 games after going pointless in the first 7.
The whole team was massively out of sync the first 10 games really anyway.
Jumping down the throats of new players trying to adjust to a new situation when even players like McDavid were sleepwalking out there was never fair to begin with especially when you're comparing them to players who had been here for like 2-3 years and had the benefit of building chemistry here for years.

I will say some of the older guys like Janmark, Brown, and Henrique do look to be skating a lot better than to start the year. Adding Kapanen was a boost in speed. But overall this was never a slow team, they just weren't moving their feet and were passing the puck around like a grenade to start the year so they looked slow. You can always move a puck much quicker than you can skate with it (unless you're McDavid). The new D group is now doing exactly what I thought they'd do which is moving pucks up quick and spending a lot less time defending. It's why I loved that Vinny and Ceci weren't back this year.

Kane coming back will be huge in that area. He brings a violent swagger with him. When he starts bringing the heat I find the team tends to follow.
The dumbest thread is the mcDAVId FInALLy ReGREssING by far.
Remind me again why I even bothered to check the mains. Bunch of morons in that area.

Someone remind me. Was there two Nurse head knock incidents this year? Or just that Reeves hit?

Oh totally. Hard to evaluate Arvidsson anyways because all the forwards were not producing at the time.
