I thought the Oilers looked like a team that for 2 weeks didn't play conventional hockey. The Kings and their unique passive, no forecheck style is strange so when the Knights came at the Oilers with an actual forecheck, the Oilers looked shocked and it took them awhile to adjust.
The Good
Leon. WOW. He's unreal and almost by himself tied the game.
McD looked to be buzzing and hopefully put Rishaugh's lame "he's hurt" to bed. A few points, should have had a goal.
The average
Ekholm and Bouchard were OK. Missed a few chances to score. Defensively were OK.
Skinner. I didn't like his first but his second and 3rd were good.
Hyman. I thought he was moving his feet better and going to the net more. 2 primary assists.
Foegele was alright. He needs to pop one and I think it's coming.
Bjudstad. Good on draws. A few shots. 5 hits. For a 3rd line center, he was OK.
Nurse. I thought he was flying around a lot. Had 7 shots, could have scored so I like that. Probably doing too much defensively. Needs to calm down.
The bad
Kane, he wasn't much of a factor.
McLeod. Did he even play? I can't remember one thing he did.
Yamo. See above. I can't remember one thing he did. Zero shots.
Ceci, Kulak. Broberg I thought they weren't very good.
Kostin. He was too quiet for me to say he was average.
Real bad.
Desharnais. I like the guy, I am pulling for him. I like some of the things he does but he looked overwhelmed. He definitely looked like a guy who wasn't used to having forecheckers. Way too cute with the puck.
Nuge. I have had enough. None factor once again and has been for now 7 games in a row. No shots, no blocks, no takeaways in over 20 mins. What the hell are you doing out there when you got zeros all over the stat line. He's the leader of the Oilers secondary scoring. He's the longest serving Oiler. He's 30 so he should have the experience where guys like him elevate in the playoffs. He's the guy that year after year he would sit there and complain about missing the playoffs, not getting it done again, how he wants to win. LOOK IN THE FREAKING MIRROR RYAN!! Not good enough, not even close.
Am I ranting on him a bit? Yes but year after year he's supposed to be one of the key guys and year after year he's let the team down. He needs to pick his game up BIG TIME. The Oilers have a legit shot at the cup and the key to them winning is guys like Nuge stepping their game up in the playoffs because they are hungry for the cup. He hasn't even had an average game yet.
Frustrating game to watch. The only positive is I thought the Knights played very, very well, the Oilers weren't good except maybe the last 10 mins of the game. Yet the Oilers almost tied that game up.
