Great game. Boys came to play. Absolutely dominated the lames. Lames to me showed their flaws. They are not a great team. They are a team who rely heavily on their goalie playing excellent and with Sutter at the helm, they can win when everything goes right, goalie plays lights out. the other team just doesn't work hard enough and the other team makes a lot of mistakes.
Oilers came to play, they worked hard, they weren't giveaway machines like they were the previous game, they didn't gift the Lames multiple free goals. On paper they are the superior team and it showed. I didn't think Markstrom was bad until it was 5-1, maybe he stops the 6-1 goal and probably the 7th. But the other ones, he's not stopping them.
I am a little surprised at a few guys in here complaining about the Oilers taking their foot off the gas in the last half of the 3rd. It was 7-1! They have a game the next day. I get it's fun to see more goals but it would be stupid for Tippett to run McD and Leon out there every second shift, double shifting them, playing them 22 mins when the game is out of hand, you have a game the next night and against a really good team, you are going to need them to be as energized as possible. It would be stupid to play Nurse pushing 30 mins when the game is well in hand, you have a game the next night against a real good team and you are going to need him at his best. It would be stupid for guys laying out and to block a shot and maybe break their foot or get a bad bruise so they are banged up when the game is well in hand, you have a game the next night against a real good team and you need all hands on deck as energized and healthy as possible.
This place at times blows my mind. They destroy the Lames. Every game this season is a division game so they mean more. Their division is super tight and the top 3 teams are fairly even. They have a rare game where it's well in hand and gives them a chance to roll lines and d pairings and scale back minutes of the big boys, yet people complain they let up because they didn't score more goals and let the Lames get a couple of useless goals towards the end. Yet if Tippett didn't ease back and say played the crap out of McD all the way to the end and he happened to take a shot off the foot and got hurt, people would be losing their minds about how stupid Tippett was for having McD out there in a blow out.
