i really hope bob taps into that '23 ECF performance he had
Its funny how bad weve been on the road.
Weve lost two on the road and 3 at home. Whats odd is every loss weve looked f***ing terrible in, not really a game we looked better in and lost, except maybe game 2 vs toronto but we still gave up 40 billion breakaways.
I think weve scored one whole ass pp goal at home in like 15 attempts and are at least 25-30% on the road. I dont get it.
Anyway i hope we keep up our road warrior game cause were gonna need it, for whatever reason home ice mattered in the finals last year and we had it. Only won 1 on the road and lost the other 2.
With how badly the Kings and Dallas looked, im not that impressed but Vegas was still a good team and they lost in 5 (close games). For the most part we took care of business in dominating fashion but we tend to take entire games off - a la blow out or get blown out type games.
Oilers look better than last year, offensive depth and defensive depth wise. I still think Skinner is a bad goalie but hes capable of stealing a game somehow.
Dont think they ran into a team like ours this season, and i do believe we are better than last years team.
Brad>tarasenko
Jones>Montour '24
3rd pairing depth still pretty good, our 4th line is much better, and brad on the 3rd has made that line an absolute work horse offensively and still be just as good defensively. Tarasenko was good but skated liked a dead horse.
My only worry is that Swaggy and Reino are having down years offensively, with Swaggy recently finally waking up. Chucky is injured but honestly last year he wasnt that much of a factor, he has 5 goals to 6 goals last year. All he needs to do is park in front of the net, his hands still work.
Bobs been solid but i really havent seen any god mode games from him yet, hopefully he has some in the tank cause every finals he seems to shit the bed for at least 3 games.
I feel like the rest should help us, it did vs Tampa to start and weve virtually have had no rest between these series. Forsling seems to be dealin with something. Reino and Eetu seemed to be banged up and hopefully the week off helps
