Totally useless game. I would havew preferred they not play at all. I was just praying no one got hurt or that the Canucks decided to run around trying to beat up people. Thankfully it wasn't overly physical and no one got hurt.
To me it looked like the Oilers came to play a little bit, not full out but a little in the first and second just to make sure things felt good with the puck. When the Oilers pressed, Demko was absolutely unbelievable. Diving across, completely laid out to stop a cross crease one timer. The one where he went post to post and at the last second flipped his leg up to stop the one timer has to make some save of the year highlight shows. That was insane!
I thought in the 3rd, the Oilers just went into cruise control and just wanted to get the game over with.
McD played on 16:12 with 5:33 being PP or the tail end of a PK. So he played barely 10 1/2 mins 5 on 5. Leon was 16:50 with just over 11 mins 5 on 5. So they weren't exactly going for it.
I thought Koekkoek for his first game back in many months looked pretty solid.
