Let's see how the Oil do against the top team in the division (albeit one without one of its top scorers). Here comes a real test of how far they've come along in the past month...

No, they said he sits so that the Oil could put PRuss into the line-up (re: they're going with 6 D-men tonight). It's still a pisser.

What's the over/under on Auston Matthews shoutouts before the end of the third period - 20?

If the Laffs are losing by that time, I bet the number of mentions goes up sharply...

5-5 the Leafs are going to really be reduced without Matthews because they folded their 2nd line into the 1st.
But PP will still kill you.

Piss-poor play by Nurse on that goal. The team are failing the test so far....

Not a great defensive play by Nurse, but Smith needs to have that.
Maybe time for a trip to Kostko.

Yeah it's a solid team when you can absorb the loss of a guy like Mathews. Any road out of the north goes through Toronto

Smith was able to bounce back after letting in 3 vs the Dys a few nights ago. Let's see if he can do the same tonight.

They came back to back but I assume you are referring to the PP goal. He had over committed so far to his left when Marner took the puck around the net he couldnt get back to the right.
He wasnt the only one to blame but he sure isnt blameless.
He has to have the second one. That is a routine shot that an NHL goalie needs to save. He knew it to based on his body language

I'm not faulting Smith entirely on that 2nd goal- Nurse went down far too early and screened him very well instead of trying to play Marner before he pulled the trigger. As I said, piss-poor play by him.

Goals against aside, what's concerning for me is how many chances the Oil have squandered, especially off the many Laffs turnovers in their own zone. You guys have to score on some of those, seriously.....

Two goals where the D-man failed to bother to block a shot, Bear on the 1st, Nurse on the 2nd..
Nurse collapsed so far down that Marner had a perfect look.

Seems like Tavares pushed Archie into the crease, and that threw Smith off as he came across. Got his stick caught up with Archie and just didn't get positioned well in the mess. Bummer goal.
Bigger bummer penalty by one of our weak links to just break what was a pretty good chess match of a game up until then.

More of the first 10 minutes. Less of the last 10 minutes.
Reset and we will be okay.

That was Thornton that crosschecked Archibald into Smith.
Yeah that penalty on Krussell was something you stay away from, never get your arm around a guy its a perfect excuse for a ref to call a penalty even if it didn't impede the guy.. not a veteran move.
I'm an optimist though, Leafs giving up a lot of chances.. just have to keep bringing the effort, wear their D out.. put the body on Muzzin, Bucket-Head Nylander, Tavares, Marner.

Very true. Nurse played that poorly as well. I dont think I saw a behind the net replay but it seemed Smith just missed it.
He did make a couple of good saves during the period as well. Hopefully the Oil bury a few of the chances this period to bale out the bad 90 seconds of hockey that got them in this hole.

So Bouch was scratched so that PRuss could make his contribution tonight. How many times has he actually done anything all game so far? Not a good move, Tipp.

Ugh, when Connor is also making the kind of mistakes that wind up in their own net, you just get the feeling it isn't going to be their night....

It all started because of a rare mistake by the captain, so Smith doesn't deserve all the blame there.

Oilers making Campbell look like a Vezina contender.
Team not clicking tonight, they'll get another 2 chances.. Bouchard in, Bear, Jones, or Krussell come out.
Leon is labouring.. not 100%

Some nights your goalie calms things down and gives you confidence. Tonight is not one of those nights.

I’d be happy if I never see a Russell Oilers jersey on the ice again. Not their faults were down.. but they don’t provide anything. 🤷🏻♂️

My dislike of Russell 1.0 goes back to roughly his tenth game as an Oiler. I dont care what intangibles he brings, he's nothing more than a 7th defenseman.
I agree with you on Russell 2.0. He just doesnt seem to serve any purpose being on the ice.

I’m pretty sure I was wanting to see KRussell after the slow start this year, but man... Wild Bill can’t get healthy soon enough.
What’s with that blender to end that period? 97 with Chiasson and Dannish Reider? Haaaaaas with Nuggy and JP?
