A step up in weight class tonight. The Oilers were brutal last game against a bad team which was their usual MO from years past. They usually like to play their crappiest against teams they should beat. Hopefully that means they will play a good game as usually they do against the better teams.
Bottom 6 needs to get going. Maybe we will see Gagner inserted for some offense but at the end of the day, if the best players don't play well, no team wins very often. McDavid and Leon were crappy last game and shockinglg, McDavid is sort of in a slump. So hopefully they will be a lot better. Neal was pretty quiet last game. I know Nuge basically walks on water in Oilerville but he hasn't been very good at all this season in my opinion. On paper, 6 points in 10 games is OK second line production as that's a modest 50 pt pace but looking at his numbers, 4 of his points are on the PP riding the coat tails of McDavid and Leon. 1 goal in 10 games sucks quite frankly.
The bottom 6 needs to chip in but in my opinion, the second line which goes through Nuge is not pulling their weight. Maybe my expectations of Nuge are just too high. When he was drafted, he was touted as the next Datsyuk. Great on the PP, really good 5 on 5, good defensively. But then you look at him. Going into his 9tth season. Looks like last season was an outlier because he played until mid November with McDavid which spiked his points a bit as he was a point a game guy with McDavid. He's on pace for another around 50 pt season which is OK, not spectacular second line production.
