I feel like we are giving up two pints tonight. Just a gut feeling. I’m keeping my Oilers 4-1 score prediction.
|
Nah! Draisaitl is due for a breakout performance.
Nuge too. (Who I think it totally capable of carrying a top-2 C role, since he's done it his entire career).
|
Life has been hard for the Nuge without McDrai.
Since the start of 2015/16:
CF%: 47.4%
FF%: 47.3%
SF%: 47%
GF%: 44.75%
xGF%: 45.6%
OZ faceoff%: 49.11%
Most likely just another line McDrai need to make up for with spectacular play. Nuge off to a rough start with a -2 last game, so many he's due for a goal tonight.
I like the Nuge, out of principle largely. Still think he's a winger. And...maybe his money is better spent on an actual elite winger so we don't have to keep going back to McDrai. Pretty disappointed in Tippett here to be honest. 3 bad games and he just panics and goes full McLellan, and I guess all kinds of conclusions of what can work long term can be made from 3 games vs Ottawa?
|
McDavid/Draisaitl are absolutely dominant on the ice though. I don't hate seeing it - even if just for a short stretch.
I don't think you can blame Nugent-Hopkins or his line for the -2 last game. First shot should just never go in. No mistakes from anyone but the goalie there...it was a weak shot from far out at a bad angle.
Second one, it's another long shot, and one that tips off Barrie's stick to go in on the far side. Both of those are low percentage plays that just worked out well for Ottawa.
Sucks for the line out there, but those aren't hard-earned minuses.
|
Yeah hard to blame Nuge in isolation last game. Generally though, he's just not a player that drives much of the play. Has always needed a linemate better than him to consistently make things happen. That responsibility lays with Pulju I guess.
McDrai is definitely fun, but we've seen a lot of it over the year, and it rarely has led to consistent success.
|
Nuge can not drive a line. It's pretty well established he's a complimentary player. He's got 20 pts and 14 have been on the PP so a pretty sad 6 pts 5 on 5. The only way that line will score is if JP drives the line.
