Too much rest? Too much rust? First four too easy? Flu?
What a crazy game.
The Canucks two young stars did squat only equaled by Edmonton's top two stars.
Pettersson dropped to the third line.
Hughes to the third pairing.
I don't think even the most rabid fan thought the Oilers would lose once they were up by 3 goals in the second period.
I don't like Boeser's game for the most part but again he had another PB and that is two this playoffs.
Rutherford/Allvin and a nod to Conroy for that Zadorov trade, for rebuilding this defence in one summer, those large humans DID make a difference.
I found it odd that the guy with the most playoff experience would have such a brain fart in the first minute of the game and cause a too many men penalty or couple of the other glaring errors that lead to goals.
Lindholm has really stepped up his game even if it was a fluky goal, it still counted but the rest of his game has improved.
Skinner thought he played good in the first period, ya, I guess he only had 5 shots on him. But then 5 goals on 19 shots after? And the media are saying Silovs didn't have a very good game allowing 4 goals on 18 shots.
I am sure the next game will be different but then I thought the games would be different in Nashville and they weren't, just low event, well maybe not last night, boring lock down hockey.
This game certainly woke me up, I was pretty sure they would lose once the score hit 4-1, it would just be how badly. That Zadorov goal had me standing up, it's been years since that. Sign that puppy ASAP.
