They picked up staying alive recently who knows what they will go with.

Better not be freak snow storm. I am over snow for the year.

Not much tactically to talk about Oilers pretty much did what they wanted.

Embersson has really grown his game throughout this season.

McDavid had everyone flopping and passes up the goal.

And you see that play creep back in with games like the Stars or Vegas. So yeah it is hard to really know. Supporting the puck out of the zone works really well for them but then they still have forwards fly the zone. Hard to pull apart what is coached in and what the players are doing.

Dach with a tip in goal after the Oilers control play for a whole line change. This is going to be a line.

Idk they also played like asses in the Cup Final so I don't understand why the big difference.

Nuge gets a goal on the PP. McDavid drives the puck to the net and a Hyman attempt popped the puck up Nuge bats it in. 5-1

Walman has been roaming all over the offensive zone. Not sure why.

Oilers are keeping the pressure up but Lankinen has been up to the task in this period.

Henrique with a lazy penalty.

Boeser just blew a wheel on a breakaway after Ekholm stepped up for a shot and the team didn't adjust.

Murphy just rocked Pettersson and then rocked O'Connor in a fight.

McDavid gets a stick from Buim as he tripped. They called McDavid but he got cut so the Oilers go to the PP.

Savoie gets the first period hatty on the delayed penalty. All from the same spot.

Oilers have a couple shaky D moments but are able to sort out enough to let Ingram find the save.

Canucks get a odd man one way on the kill. Puck goes the other way McDavid draws enough attention to pass to Savoie for another shot from the same spot. 3-1.

Interesting they went Podz and Hyman on the PP.

McDavid still dominating draws a call as he skate into a group of three Canucks and was tripped up. Let's see if the PP can go.

Walman can't intercept a lob and Mueller got a clean break away. 2-1 Oilers.

Dach started a fight with D Petey. idk why.

That line gets a goal set up by Bouchard faking shot pass to Savoie who is wide open.

Oilers just dominating right now. McDavid's line buzzing around.

third line got another good shift shooting from the point and having bodies in front.

The Dach-Samanski-Frederic line get on the board first. nice entry and drive the net. This is a line!

GDT game 82 Vancouver @ Edmonton

I think he had some good skills but he had to be put in the right spot to succeed. Like he would not be doing well here in Edmonton even if he got some playing time with McDavid or Draisaitl because his flaws would get him pulled by Knoblauch.

I still view that as young. But I am looking through an Oilers window view of next 5 years.

Also looking to get Luke Schenn back? Why? That is the type of D you have too much of and he is actually worse at doing it then what you have now.
