Well I wouldn’t say we weren’t good enough. Took their goalie making the save of the year to win it for them, but overall i see what you mean. The effort in the first period just wasn’t there

You are right in that the Oilers could have won that game but Korpisalo stole it but the Oilers were bad. They played nothing like they did in the previous 6 games and if Columbus wouldn't have been as bad as they are, they would have easily beat the Oilers with all those give aways. You can't win in the NHL playing like the Oilers did. Even McD, the amount of times he tried to go through 4 Jackets was ridiculous and to me shows some arrogance thinking he could do it against that team. They are still pros and have some pride. McD and company thinking all they had to do was just show up and they'd win is a joke.

So while I was pissed off and still am as that should have been a free win, I am glad they lost because they played like it was a shiny game. So hopefully that never happens again.

Better to get these reminders now then in the playoffs. Only thing hurt here is pride. Hope they stew on this all break and come back nice and pissed off just like you are icon_wink . Go Oilers!! We all know what Draisaitl is like when he's pissy/pissed.


Honestly, hopefully the coach smartens the hell up next game. We can't play the top guys those minutes every night and expect it to be a successful strategy. They have to rely on the rest of the roster some times and give the stars adequate time to rest.

If you can't play Holloway or McLeod against the Blue Jackets, then what does that say about them against the Bruins or Avs?

He's been increasing Holloway's ice time lately. He played over 13 mins.

I do not think playing McLeod more is a good idea. Not until he decides to stop playing like such a perimeter player. You have to take the puck to the goal to score. There are very few players in the NHL that can score from distance. He's 6'2, almost 210 and skates like the wind. He should be taking the puck to the goal all the time and at his size with his speed, he would be difficult to defend. IF he did that consistently, he would generate more goals for himself as well as his line. If I am the Oilers, if you aren't going McD, Leon, Nuge as your 3 centers, then they need to get themselves a bottom 6 center for the playoffs.
