Need to test Rittich.

Rest it with Rittich........



Edit: Damn it read that wrong.

f*** f*** f***

 

[Sanchez]

Why did I think it would be different against Rittich? Pass parade like we are scared to shoot on a backup again. These guys should know Rittich very well by now and want to embarrass him.

I don't get it either. New goalie and hasn't played very much in a month and you want to not shoot?

Nurses demeanor has been so calm these days too. Puck off the head moment/Coffey has really calmed his game.

I badly want to see Nurse paired with a solid defensive D. Think his game would hit another level if he knew his partner was reliable.

If he's eliminated the frustration penalties from his game, that'll be huge as the playoffs go on.

 

[Paralyzer]

Kings are going to start making mistakes and the Oilers will pounce. Oilers playing the smart counterpunch game tonight.

Exactly! Nailed it. We will start scoring as soon as LA makes a poor play here.

f*** I read that wrong

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Expecting some really soft calls against Edm this period. Weather the storm guys! Huge opportunity here!

 

[Fishy McScales]

Particularly when they get caught out there too long.

90% of the time it is because Ceci made an unforced error coughing it up under no pressure.

 

[Mr Positive]

Oilers defending getting to the next level. Best I've seen in the McDrai era. Oilers bending a bit but not letting Kings get much from quality scoring areas. Really good coverage own zone and battleing well NZ. Not giving kings the kind of odd man rushes and open looks they like. Skinner stopping everything and in position. But Oilers have been batting anything going cross ice.

Really a good goal prevention focus by both clubs. Neither have allowed an EV goal.

I very much agree. It shows faith in Skinner too, that he can handle these shots as long as he can see them and doesn't have to switch too quickly

I think his defensive metrics go down when he's not paired with Ceci.

For sure. He always loses the gamesmanship game. Itlll be different this year.

 

[iCanada]

I mean I"m an Oiler fan but that penalty was so soft it was insane.

If that got called on the Oilers it would be absolute outrage here.

If you're calling that stuff all night, sure. But with all the shit they've let go? That's not a penalty, not even close.

If it makes you feel better Ekholm took a high stick seconds later.

But real talk you can't tackle a guy then hold him down. Just the push? Eh kind of weak. Just the hold? Eh, kind of weak.

But you can't slash your own stick in half, then tackle the guy, then hold him down and expect all of that not to be called.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Empty the tank, you’re off for two days after this.

Yep and back to home ice.

 

[CupofOil]

I think the game has been hard battled. Oilers strategy in this one is make LA break first. Keep em outside, contained, and wait for breakdowns. Not typical of the Oilers but Kings expending a lot of energy through those two periods.

I don't think this will work in the 3rd, Oilers need some pushback at some point.

 

[gordonhught]

I don’t think I could tell you a Taylor swift song if you played one for me

 

[elmeroil]

Love all these Edmo ton commercials on 630 ched. Haven't lived in E town for 12 years

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

I blame T Swift for us normies having to use paper straws

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Sportsnet that's bad karma picking that song jeez

The arm went up before the hold to the ground occurred. The penalty was the soft grab.

I'll take it, but I'm not going to pretend it wasn't soft as shit especially considering what has not been called in this game.

 

[oobga]

Is Stu can pull this one out for us, will seriously consider some California Closets.

 

[nabob]

Vinny, Holloway or another young player will get a very soft penalty called against them with 5 minutes or less remaining. If I could bet on it I would.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Taylor Swift and her 500 jet flights across the country. Raise another banner.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Great defensive support by McLeod
