Post-Game Talk: Rebounding

[Soundwave]

If Hyman is out too, then at least let some others have some playing time up the lineup.

RNH McDavid Podkolzin
Skinner Draisaitl Kapanen
Janmark Henrique Brown
Ryan Perry


Move Skinner to PP unit 1.

I presume we're going to be stuck with 11 forwards or will the team actually call someone up?

Ullmark getting paid 8.25mill/season. Think about that. Fans here crying about finding a better goalie than Skinner. Maybe Skinner can ask for 9mill/season.

Solid bounce back game, keep Brown up to punch faces. 6-0 when fighting, ride the streak..

So something is happening. Or at least I think there's something happening.

The post-game interviews done by McDavid, Skinner and Knoblauch only took questions from Oilers TV hosts Paige Martin and Tony Brar.

That seems peculiar because after the Montreal loss they took questions normally from various journalists...

Positives:
-- McDavid (14 points in the past six games. It's gonna be hard to catch MacKinnon and Kaprizov, but I sort of feel those guys have somewhat shot their early-season bolts.)
-- Draisaitl (maybe he can take over the goals-lead soon?)
-- After a horrible first three games, the Oilers are 10-5-2, which isn't bad.
-- PK is finally achieving basic competence (in my opinion, not having Nurse on the PK is a good thing).

Negatives:
-- Aside from two guys, the entire team cannot score.
-- Against what I would consider "good" teams this season (Winnipeg, Dallas, Carolina, Jersey, Vegas, Toronto), the Oilers' record is 0 and 6, and they've been outscored by 24 to 8, or 4-1 in each game. Now, if you consider Vancouver a good team, the Oil have 1 win by an impressive score, but I'm not yet convinced Vancouver is actually good.
-- 4 of the next 5 games are vs. Minnesota, New York, Colorado, and Vegas. So, I guess we'll see what this team is made of...

Fake ass Olympics means nothing. Does anyone even remember what happened at the whatever-it-was called Tournament that featured the Country of North America?

Yeah, I do. It was great for the sport IMO. Tickets to see NHL talent for $20. People in Toronto too cheap/poor finally got a chance to enjoy live hockey with some of their fav players.
