Harnarayan Singh is actually pretty decent calling a game.


Love DeBrusk calling him "Singh-er"


Did Gene and Jack Micheals go to illegal underground nightclub last night, or what?

I just pictured Principe with COVID hair.

Eeeuuuuwww...


Singh is okay, but hes pretty muted/soft with the calls and it’s putting me to sleep.

Hoglander, hand out the sweets? How many of these does he have locked and loaded to shoehorn into his goal calls? Hopefully not many. Like that guy that called the Yankee games.

Great start for Khaira. Gives up a 5 on 5 goal on a puck battle to a guy who's 7 inches shorter and almost 30lbs lighter. Hogland was his man.

Barrie is messing up our PP. Needs to turn his stick over and be a leftie for the constant back and forth with the Nuge. Or maybe we eventually need to try a guy like Yams out there.

Koski is just getting hung out to dry by the Oil's usual sieve-like D. Yep, and to think that there were people who thought that the Oil's D would be set with Barrie arriving (not pointing fingers at anyone here, because most people here know better)....

Larsson and Jones a tidy -3. Larsson the supposed vet defensive dman looks clueless. The forward is battling with the Canucks player so Larsson goes in for the hit and leaves Horvat wide open on the first goal. Then on the Boeser goal, you are in your own zone and he's at the blue line.

That pass to Nurse probably buys him 15 games of being glued there.

Is this game 5 if the Hawks series? Looks like the same team to me. Some major defensive problems happening again.

Swiss cheese defense.

Not sure why I would have expected any more. No teams let guys not name McDavid on our team be constantly opened like we allow almost anyone on other teams to be. Most teams make you battle like your life depends on it to get open around the net and in the slot.

Yeah, our D is absolutely horrid. I noticed during the scrimmages that guys were being beaten like rented mules all over the place.

I was concerned watching those highlights. Call me unsurprised with this game.

Kassian was the best guy on McD's line. McD was mostly invisible and I couldn't tell you if Nuge even played tonight.

By the boxscore, Jones, need to see the replay again. That was not good defensive coverage but not sure how it developed.


I didnt hate the pinch by Jones. Kassian seemed to take the right angle on the back check but didnt do anything useful.
Larsson with the headhunting fail seemed to be the biggest goat on the play but no one really played it very well.


Impressive that your read on this was EXACTLY the same as Bieksa's at the intermission...

If Shore clears waivers, I think he takes Khaira's spot. You can't just coast into your own zone and watch your man score like that.

I thought Larsson was awful. Primary on 2 forsake goals against. Was on for 3 against. McD and Nuge were not good. When Kassian is the best on that line, that's a problem. I thought Koskinen was actually decent. He gave up 5 but they were wide open one timers, break aways and uncontested open shots in the slot. I can't fault him on any of the goals.

I thought the Drai Kahun, Yamo line looked pretty good. Kahun had lots of chances. They will come.

Yeah I think it's gonna be on Drai's line again to save the day. McDavid just looks out of sync with Kassian all the time. Kassian will get points by just being around on the top line, but there is not consistent give and take creating plays between those guys. It's McDavid individual efforts and wingers trying to keep up and pick up the trash. Still need to find McDavid a good RW one of these days.

Drai's line on the other hand, lots of passing, lots of winning pucks on the boards, lots of different looks with guys making plays all over the offensive zone.

Just took my 2 year old boy to get our second post lockdown haircuts. I generally have a bit of a beard and thought I looked like Peter Forsberg for a while. Lots of mirror time. Loved every second of it.

Looks like the popcorn eater was the Nuge

Still mainly on Larsson for the Fistric impersonation. No one on this team seems capable of reading and compensating for any teammate errors of course

I’d expect a lot more from Nuge if he’s trying to earn 7+ mil. My fear has been that by saddling him with Connor that it’ll inflate his numbers and he’ll get lured by the open market.

I don't even know who to blame for that goal because #6 was he only D in the frame. Where was the other D?


By the boxscore, Jones, need to see the replay again. That was not good defensive coverage but not sure how it developed.


I didnt hate the pinch by Jones. Kassian seemed to take the right angle on the back check but didnt do anything useful.
Larsson with the headhunting fail seemed to be the biggest goat on the play but no one really played it very well.


Impressive that your read on this was EXACTLY the same as Bieksa's at the intermission...


That is upsetting to hear. I dont like having the same opinion as Bieksa on anything.


Saw a pic of his new hair on twitter... sure hope you guys don’t share the same hair style too icon_biggrin


I know what Adam was implying but I didnt see Bieksa. Had to go look this up on Twitter.
The side by side with Burke is pretty good.
Can confirm we do not have the same hairstyle. Doesnt mean mine is better. I got one haircut after the first lockdown and have let it flow since then.
I am getting real close to the same hockey hair style I had as a teenager



You should find the 1st intermission and watch it. It's uncanny the similarities between your comments and his. He says:

- didn't mind the pinch from Jones
- Kassian is tracking the puck carrier, Larsson's job is the pass
- Larsson comes over looking to land the big hit, leaving his guy wide open...

I actually tried to find it and couldnt.
I have a whats app group chat with some Oiler fan buddies and said the same thing there this morning and they also have now commented. They are actually quite concerned that I saw it the same way as him.

For discussion sake let's pretend PlusOne is the Bieksa Oilfans burner troll account.
Do you see the play any different?

Nope - you both nailed it.

Hated Bieksa as a player and still find him a bit annoying as a result, but his analysis is solid. I grudgingly admit that he's been a good add to the panel.

Hatred of him as a player aside I have heard that about him a few times as an analyst.

Years ago I started a habit of muting intermission and getting caught up on twitter, oilfans, etc as I find that more entertaining then the talking heads.

I might have to start watching intermissions again as I also like Friedman and usually find Burke to be an entertaining grumpy old man type foil.

Agreed. I freaking hated him with a passion when he was playing, but he's a really good analyst. Even when he was still playing I think I remember him alluding to the fact that he wished some of his teammates would worry more about just playing the game rather than diving & trying to draw penalties. I disliked him a little less after he made that comment. I don't remember exactly when it was, other than that it was during a playoff series that they ended up losing (sorry, that probably doesn't really narrow it down any rofl )

I’ll watch intermissions unless I see Hrudey on. I can’t stand him. I still view Bieksa to have the Canuck stain on him, but he, and you, were spot on with that. Wood guy broke it down well too.

Nuge is often lauded for his 2 way play, but things like this seem to pop up every year (lack of defensive coverage).

You’ve got 11 years on me but same amount of kids. Though, my oldest is 4. I’ll join ya with the drinking. We still have to set up an Oilfans Playoff Party in Regina lol
