Another great game but Smith. He looks dialed in. After listening to Koskinen and the struggles he had last season mentally plus it being a contract year, I fully expect him to bounce back and be decent. His family is here too. Then you factor in Smith who I don't expect him to put up numbers like he did last year but I could see him being decent. The Oilers goaltending might be OK.
2 games in but I am loving how Keith and Ceci are making people eat their words. I thought they would be OK as a second pairing especially Keith. I hope it continues and if it does, I will be curious to see if anyone in here will go back on their statements. I doubt it.
Bouchard looks like the deal deal. I've been a fan of his since they drafted him but he's been better tha I expected so far. 2 games in so I get that but so far so good.
JP is a monster. I happily am glad to be wrong about him.
Hyman just keeps impressing me. Just under 20 mins. Plays on the PP, PK, flies around the ice, he is faster than I thought, forechecks hard, goes to the net, can drive a line. As if that isn't enough, he was 75% of faceoffs too. I am trying to figure out why the Leafs let this guy go as so far he's been everything he was advertised to be and more in my opinion. Exactly what the Oilers needed which was another difference making top 6 guy.
Ryan has been very good. Good on the PK, chips in a goal. 67% on faceoffs. Solid defensively. Brings some speed and offense.
Foegele was good again last night. Great on the forecheck. Brings offense to the bottom 6, lots of speed, lots tenacity, some physical play. I think he will be a valuable, versatile top 9 forward that was badly needed by the Oilers. I fully expect that any time Bear does anything remotely decent, some Oilers bloggers will bring it up and moan about it but I think the trade had to happen.
Kassian looked good. The 3rd line has the makings to be pretty good.
Nurse has been excellent.
Barrie has had the yips. I expect he will smooth it out.
McLeod isn't ready, needs more development time. Shore can't come back fast enough.
Nuge and Yam has just been meh. Pretty good the first game, quiet this past one. I still don't think Nuge is a second line center and think the Oilers are better when McD and Leon are split up.
I am loving that the Oilers are 2-0 with Leon just being meh so far.
