GDT: Red Hot - Oilers v Devils - 2 PM

[snipes]

The mighty mites 4th line out there grinding. Way too small of a line come playoff time if we manage to claw back but they’ve been working hard.

 

[RattsSSV]

No interference there eh ref

Good period for the Oilers.

 

[TheNumber4]

You know things are going right when the 4th line opens scoring for you. Elite PK and responsible defence got us to that point. Good period.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

DR is awesome

 

[Senor Catface]

Not really the Oilers have had four grade a chances I'm struggling to thik of one for New Jersey.

Yeah, I didn't mean we got dominated, but it felt like Devils carried the play a bit more at the start.

Not necessarily. We have a big roster on the other 3 lines. Gagner and Ryan are old small guys, they can handle the size.

 

[North Cole]

They got outplayed this period, but not in any outlandish way. Jersey is a good team. Wrap up a less than optimal first period, move on to the second.

edit: Haha then we score.

It's been pretty even. Drai had an unreal look. We scored 2 goals, they took one back. NJ had an extra PP.

Long change will be the test.

I'm liking Pickard. He's calming back there. The team started playing better after those 2 PK's.

 

[TheNumber4]

Any period with 0 GAs is fine. Not every period gonna be a blow out.

Speaking of blow out, hopefully the Devils start getting heavy in the legs as this goes on and they start opening up.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Whoever the kid is announcing the goals should get a full time gig

Yeh for sure. Looked even for most part, but ultimately the Oilers had the better chances and NJ had some refs help.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Lucy swipes Charlie Browns goal away.


Beauty pass by Gagner and nice finish by Ryan.

Can't complain about the period.

They look for the odd man lots.

Yeh? Good test for our team defence them. Give them nothing.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Missed the opening. Did they start Draisaitl as a McWinger or in period move?

 

[Drivesaitl]

Just after pk like usual.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Pickard legit might be the best goalie in the org.

90.57% on the season.

That's Hasek level numbers for this team right now.

I think that McDrai shift was just an after PK shift.

I loved the kid saying Sam Gagner. Sounded funny. But yeah, had same impression as you.

Pickard legit might be the best goalie in the org.

Night and day better which is saying something about how ordinary our goalies are.

 

[TheNumber4]

TSN analysis on that period:
“Oilers carried by McDavid again.”

 

[tardigrade81]

Gagner is awesome

He really is! I see a ton of myself in him actually. Takes a high level of skill to play like him and me do. He really is a solid player!

He's gonna get sent down in exchange for Campbell soon

Drai sent Kane a wide open chance in slot as well. Oilers sure got their looks in that period.
