Post-Game Talk: Sharks 7, Oilers 4

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I've missed the last couple games due to family events (looks like no regrets). How has Jones looked?

 

[Pointteen]

we have 6 Mcd, drai , nuge, chia, nurse, caggiula Big difference

Right. My bad. 5 over 5. 6 5 or more.

 

[LTIR]

Wow that was the most depressing 1st goal celebration I've ever seen.

Was Rattie the only one that went up to his after the goal?

That wasn't the goal apparently.. they counted it as McDavids goal which means puck never crossed the line for Rattie.. McD shooting it in during confusion was the goal

 

[Dakinjor]

Chia you say!!!
Hopefully one of his goal is to stay employed.

sorry i meant chia's son, chia him self can **** right off.

 

[Del Preston]

Lucic only played 11:27 today. Lowest on the team.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Hitchcock saying they get scored on and sag too easy and they don't hold their heads up long enough.

Hitchcock's voice is higher and speech is sped up, he's pissed.

People here will all rave .. but the guy was -3 before his goal and stood around while Talbot was getting lit up.
Benning-Jones was still our best pairing. Gravel probably the best Dman.

Double post

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The good news is that we finally scored a goal in the dying moments of the third. The bad news is it only cut our deficit to a field goal.

Yawney hasn't been able to coach the dumb out of Darnell.

Where is that dude that continually defended any criticism of Nurse last year. Conspicuously missing

 

[Cloned]

Not true. He's amazing at getting into the play. But Nurse is too. Nurse is just forced to do too much. He's being Schultz'd, but he's better at to than Schultz ever was.
I love Jones and expect him to be a regular on the roster next season. He'll probably stay up through this season as well. However I firmly believe Nurse is better. He's playing a different game than his best way of playing. Trying to do what Klefbom does is hard. Especially when your game is grittier. Nurse seems afraid to do anything too mean. He knows how important it is that he is on the ice as much as possible with these injuries.

Some players are just naturally better at hockey. It’s why a guy like Tkachuk is so much better at the game than JP despite JP being far superior athletically.

Jones is actually the better skater and he has more innate hockey ability than Nurse.

Gravel is much better than advertised. I want him and Sekera as a bottom pairing next season.
Klefbom Larsson
Nurse Russell
Gravel Sekera
Without any trades, this is what we have.

I think you take the gamble and move Sekera out. Even if he does step in and play his best after those injuries, you need cap room and a spot for Jones next season.

 

[StevenF1919]

Guess we know which dman was the one carrying the top pairing 2 seasons ago.

Larsson f***ing sucks.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Vegas is now 9 points up for 3rd in the division.

Only hope I can see is a wildcard spot and those hopes are diminishing fast despite being two points away.

 

[nexttothemoon]

'member when they were in a playoff spot and we had hope...

That was only three days ago lol

Factoring in NMC and Bouchard, I think Nurse will be moved to make room for Jones

 

[Cloned]

Nurse + JP for Couturier. Bite the bullet on both of them.

Larsson ****ing sucks.

B ... bu ... but he shoots right!

 

[the mcdavid era]

Puljujarvi is a bust. Call it like it is

Very true on Tkachuk. Boy that's frustrating.
I think Jones has "it" but he is untapped. I think Nurse is better at Nurse's game than Jones is at Jones' game right now. At this level.
Do I make sense? Nurse is closer to his peak and knows his role when the team is healthy.

Jones is about to be Sekera but more mobile and a more accurate shot. But he isn't there yet. Like prime Sekera not Oilers Sekera.

This feels like rambling, so I am gonna shut up and concede you're probably better at analysing Dmen than I am.

I thought that next season Russell and Sekera had to submit teams they would accept a trade to.

His puck skills are so terrible that it wouldn't surprise me if he was actually a lefty playing with a right handed stick.

Neither of them carry the other, but you probably have a Taylor Hall sock you use.

And he got an Apple
