Clearly McDavid and Drai are going through a little down period, therefore we are going to barely score for a while. Hope it turns back around soon.

Thought the same thing, penalties on both sides were totally weak, however, the breakaway by McD was a clear penalty, the Jet got his stick right in McDs hands as he was going to try and shoot, should have been a penalty shot.
Regardless of outcome.. I continue to be amazed at how good E. Bear is playing .. just unreal.
Oilers should sign him to an 8 year contract as soon as they can, he's going to be a top 2 or 4 D rightie, and I suspect he'll eventually be taking over the PP from K-bomb.

Just no tentativeness or indecision that leads to turnovers. He's had the odd coverage blunder, but he's the real deal with the puck. I think part of it is the stress by the staff on the forwards providing better support and an outlet, but cripes the kid looks comfy out there.
|
I concur, I find myself comparing him to Klefbom, much quicker decisions, and feet, Klefbom's feet seem to stop while he's thinking, a big pause, while forcheckers descend on him, blunders ensue, Bear doesn't, everything is more fluid... and he seems to be getting better game after game. Speed has become an asset of his.
|
Bear needs to be given more ice-time with Connor and Drai in OT- he would mesh better with them than Klef.
|
I agree, in one year of off season training Bear now has a legit pair of NHL wheels, much quicker than Klef. Klef always looks a little dopey in 3 on 3.
Bear attributed his skating to spending all off season in edmonton training with D. Pelltier. Wonder why some of the other Oilers haven't tried this, like Benning, Khaira, Klef.. if Bear could get that kind improvement you'd think others could as well.
McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!!
Tic-Tac-Tao!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
