I’m not sure how sustainable this is.

Reinforcements coming in the WCF

 

[D0ctorCool]

They got lucky on numerous non calls too. Only losers blame refs

Yup, and the game was won 5-on-5 anyhow. You want to win the game? don't get caught flat-footed around McDavid.

Cassidy calling out Hill post game.

Loving it.

Where can we see the interview?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

f***ing cry about it you LTIR pissbaby.

 

[Sheikyerbouti]

We didn't deserve to win that game, but also should have.

Vegas must be shellshocked right now.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I thought he sounded reasonable. He was irked by the missed call, more so the potential injury, but he didn't say anything over the top, even gives it to spec lol

 

[bleedthenorth]

Besides the tipped goal (as it’s poor to blame any goalie for that) Pickard let in goals you guys crucify Skinner for tonight and in his other starts.

If Skinner played this game you guys would be complaining about him giving up the lead in the third and Mcdrai saving his ass etc.

we woulda lost if Skinner played tonight

 

[MoontoScott]

They can make all the stupid categories they want. Overcoming a 1 goal first period deficit isn’t all that impressive. It just means the Oilers need to be prepared to play at the drop of the puck for a change.

The Oilers will have to better in game #3. Karma is waiting in the wings.

Yeah Stecher gotta come in. Knoblauch will play him 13 minutes instead of 7. He can also transition the puck with confidence. Six less minutes to share among the top four is huge.

 

[elmeroil]

Not complaining but I noticed Hill playing more to his left side tonight and the Oilers scored on the other side pretty easily. He's reminding me of Skinner, just big.

Yeah that was pretty odd man. Sometimes you need to but it should stay in the room, maybe a one on one but not out in the press... during playoffs too. Just gotta love watching them cave a bit mentally and start to point fingers.

 

[Drivesaitl]

The Oilers were fortunate, but you can't apologize for getting a break.

Get back to the way they played in game 1 and work to get the brooms ready

Shouldn't say brooms but the confidence of this Oilers club this post season is like a 180 from what they were in the Winnipeg series. Back then the Oilers were skating around expecting bad things to happen. This year they have some kind of incredible confidence that they can win no matter what.

With goaltending this is a wagon. The Key was starting the right goalie. Starts from there.

100% agree, Drai said as much in his presser. Can’t give Vegas an inch.

 

[oobga]

Hard to believe that this 2024-25 Oiler power play is the same one we saw for so many of the MC-Drai years. Not much intensity. I thought that half of that 5 minute major was simply wasted?

Just stationary, being the same PP that the whole league has studied for half a decade. The Drai 1-timer never even becomes an option anymore. Yet somehow we allow Vegas to make that same pass on us with ease.

Badly need some PP adjustments still.

Akira Schmid

He already cinderella'd once he's not allowed to do it again. Pretty sure that's the rule.

 

[Moregoalspls]

Did Knobloch just comment on the lack of pp

 

[syz]

Oilers somehow ended up with the edge in expected goals after that complete dog shit 2nd period and start of OT.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Really gotta figure out both ends of the special teams. PK is bad and that "power play" in overtime was horrendous.

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

No, I get it. I’m choosing to believe he has more character than to laugh at someones injury

He was probably in disbelief that he didn't get a penalty.

Nice to win a game that we often lose.

Can they please fix the PP

They can fix the PK while they are at it! Who would have thought that our special teams could do us in?

Seems like just 2 shifts of McDrai being split woke them up lol.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I mean kinda amazing

All I know about the PK is they're turning Kulak into a pylon. They're running the exact same 2 plays every time and they're both at his expense.

Eichel to Stone behind the net to Olofsson, or Eichel cross seam to Olofsson.

Kulak has never been good on the PK
