Post-Game Talk: The more things change…

Jeff Skinner has been great.

Yup, at least most of us think so.

Nice….gotta ask…how many times did you check on the spelling of “annals” before you hit send?

DEEP in the dark crevasse of hockey, this night will reside.

None I just put all my faith in chatGPT and hit paste lol

Nice win. LFG

 

[Mr Positive]

Man it would be great if Vegas could keep losing

 

[Messrules11]

I’m surprised Draisaitl didn’t catch fire tonight but it’ll come. Glad to see Nurse finally drop em, way overdue.
And then there’s Nuge, lmao

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Decent win.
Pickard played well.
It's a start.

PLAY LA BAMBA

Skinny Jeff looking like a bargain

It bodes well that we won without the big line really catching fire.

The Captain is looking more like the Captain and the Oilers get the big save in the dying minutes.

Aint it sweet-- when the right ingredients are in the mix.

I don't think Skinner would've made the save on that shot towards the end where the puck came out from behind the net and Pickard got across really fast to stop the shot. Good for Pickard.

Our top unit PP needs to get their shit together.

Nahhh the old one was better

Good team win

Still wasn't perfect but you could see the outlines of an actual defensive scheme in this game. Progress.

Offensive game back on track as well. Saros kept this closer than it was.

If our PP was it's normal self that's probably a 5-2 or 6-2 win, they need to figure their shit out or promote Jeff Skinner onto the top unit.

Wow.

Well I gotta go cry now.

Another good night for Darnell Nurse and Troy Stecher 5 on 5.

- Nurse with 1 assist and a fight, +1 and 21:26 minutes played tonight
- Stecher no points, -1, 15:25 minutes played

Even though he got no points, I thought Arvidsson had a good game. He keeps creating chances but just needs to pot one. Set up Janmark for that partial breakaway as well.

I think Podkolzin needs to be moved down. I love his physicality and forecheck but he doesn't seem like the best fit on that second line

 

[Soundwave]

Stetcher looks like an adequete replacement for Ceci at 1/4 the cost.

 

[McFlyingV]

Arvidsson looked great tonight. Tons of speed, good puck protection, excellent passing, and good forechecking on display. Only a matter until the points start coming for him.

Team was all over it tonight. Best game of the season and easily could have won that 6 or 7-2. Saros played very well.

 

[MoontoScott]

Good road game by the boys. Got some traffic in front and it paid off. Who knew. Skinner with yet another good game, gotta laugh at the poster who killed many trees telling us how horrible a player he was before he had played a single game that counts for us. PP is still frustrating, need to get that turned around. Big game Saturday.

I was skeptical of what he would bring but yup, looks like I was wrong-good stuff.

He's not big or really fast but he has the goal scorer's instincts.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Another impressive game for Jeff Skinner. He's showing why a player should not be judged in the preseason. He's been very good around the net.

 

[McFlash97]

Good couple of gutsy wins,

We still need to upgrade from Stecher and Emberson. Not good enough.

I noticed Arvidsson with RNH works well. Might as well roll with 3 scoring lines and then the Janmark line

 

[MessierII]

Or just play the second unit more. That one goal was more or less a second unit pp goal. The top unit isn’t getting it done so get them off. Maybe even start the second unit of the top unit is crapping the bed.
