Well that could be Tyler Ennis' last game in an Oiler uniform.
Down to one trade deadline acquisition. Make us proud AA.
Clean house or bust

Regardless of him returning this playoff, I think he resigns.

Klef having a much better game. Maybe he and Lars just don’t jive anymore?

I think he's just really noticeable because he's on the ice the whole game...

It's time to make a bit of an adjustment on the way we're defending those point shots. There's been a lot of them that seem to get through and tipped in this series.

Need to start getting their bodies in front of those, that goal was the same as the 1st, on the 1st one Chaisson comes out and makes himself tiny, just becomes a screen instead of a block..

I saw that coming, winger can't get it out, shot from point.. of course.
How about that no-call of Kubalik on Nurse just before teh goal, two hander across the glove, reaches in, dumps Nurse..

I like Bear. I like Bear a lot. He should not be the guy leaned on to play the big minutes on defense. Edmonton’s defense may simply not be good enough to compete with the 12th place team in a playoff series.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

I honestly thought our D was superior to Chicago going into this Timbits tourney.
Koskinen is going to need to be outstanding on Friday.

Well, when you lose Larsson and spot weld Jones and Benning to the bench you're left with a shot blocking Russell, the young and inconsistent Bear and Nurse, and a hope Klefbom can play 45 minutes a night like Chris Pronger.
That's a thin D Line. There aren't a lot of options for the coach.

I thought the Oilers looked like they were trying to just hold on for the third period last night. They shortened the bench, and then they just tried to get the puck across the blue line again and again. Trying not to lose - which is never a great strategy.
I didn't see anything really deficient in Jones/Benning pairing last night and I am not sure why they got benched. It puts a lot of stress on the other defencemen when you do that, and if we'd gone to overtime, was the plan to use them as little? That seems unsustainable.
Frustrating to see them lose that way, but they only need two wins in a row to make it through and they're still playing against a bottom third team. There's still a decent chance here.

F'n Bear.
