Luckily I was headed somewhere so I wasn’t able to watch the game thankfully amd after I saw the texts from my bro when it was 3-0 on 5 shots, I wisely decided not to listen. Icy highways and the Oilers tanking a game is never a good mix.

The schedule maker gave the Oilers the old middle finger giving them 5 games in 7 nights, making them go on a mini trip. Slamming a lone home game in the middle. Then making them go on a 1 game trip only to have the last game being a back to back against a very good team. Pretty ridiculously difficult task to come up with a remotely decent effort by I am sure an exhausted team. Only way there was the slimest of chance to salvage even a point is your goalie had to be outstanding. The goalie lasted only 2/3 of a period with 4 goals on 7 shots. Now like I said I didn’t get to watch the game so I am sure the effort was poor but I am not sure I have seen a .429% posted by a a suppossdly NHL caliber goalie before. Maybe I missed one but even if a team doesn’t have much to give, that’s a pretty poor excuse of an effort by a vet goalie.

I noticed Benson did a pretty sweet bad pass to be a primarry setup on the Wilds first goal but at least he got that first ever goal when it was 6-1 to stop being the only Oilers forward this year without a goal. He gave one way but got one back so all the stats guys can give him a boost. I saw the oldies on cult of hockey give him an extra grade point juat because he finally score his first NHL goal, so I am sure other stat guys did as well. So cudos to him for getting that goal. His dad was watching so even better. He had 1 shot and he scored so I guess he can be called a 1 shot scorer now! Whoop whoop!!

A tough next few games ahead. Smith had been playing well for several games in a row so he was due for a stinker sadly. So hopefully its out of his system and he can play good again as they need him. Koskinen was playing well before covid and had a strong game against the Jets so he was a bad game time bomb ready to explode as well. He didn’t exactly shut the door and I saw a stinker goal so maybe they both got their trash game over with at once.

When you pick a guy (a 4th line rookie at that) & go to the whip, you don't mess around. A fixation, an obsession. Does Benson need security? 😂 Whatever, I guess we all need to cope with the Oilers in different ways. Some guys are obsessed with the GM and the coach, Klowe, Nicholson. For you it's the 4th line rookie at league minimum.

I was expecting a let down here, but this pretty big letdown in terms of a bad start again. Benson didn't have a good game outside of a goal. I think we can expect erratic tending from this tandem. I didnt see anyone who played particularly well, especially veteran impactful players. Lagesson was +2 though... confused2

I think .500 on the trip here would be a good outcome.

Well that sucked the life out of the line bright spot in that game.
