Yeah Talbot was the difference last night, played like a new man despite that performance in relief of Koskinen.

One play doesn't make me forget Lucic and his lack of team support. I think I'm permanently on the dislike the chump camp, I do not support him and to heck with his supporting role. He's a boat anchor of a contract and I would still sit the guy in the press box. Manning is better! (that could be the anger talking)

What a difference Russell makes because he stabilized the back end tire fire defense. I liked Nurse's engagement on Saturday and yesterday, the cross on Henrique is was lore is made out of. More of that please.

One thing is for sure, this team ain't making the playoffs.


To be fair, Lucic did have a response in the Kings game - it was just really late and really lame. We haven't actually seen Lucic seek out trouble much in his time with the Oilers. That first game against the Flames, and then since then, if he's fought it's usually because some fourth liner asked him nicely.

The slash on Leipsic not only is not at all a deterrent, it's also not even retribution. He just randomly gave a minor tap to some guy not involved in the other dirty plays. If he'd at least slashed Carter or Doughty it would have been better. It is disturbing to have the propaganda voice of the Oilers suggest he didn't go after anyone of consequence because of his connections to those guys.

It's not just Lucic though - the Carter stuff was right in front of the bench. Everyone would have seen it. We were already getting fed our lunch in that game, so why doesn't someone - Nurse, Manning, Kassian, anyone - give him a facewash or a crosscheck on his next shift? It's not like surrendering a powerplay was going to be that big an issue...that game was lost early. At least you'd show you're not going to take that.

Yesterday, to his credit, Lucic played a big role in the fourth goal yesterday, if you aren't too critical of his blindly throwing the puck to the front of the net after forcing the turnover. Because of the fact he just gave the puck back, he didn't get an assist on the play, but the goal still doesn't likely happen without his forecheck there.
