.. looks like Tippet is going back to the well again with Draisatl, RNH, and Yama-Motor.. hoping it doesn't come up DRY... 
possible Gene P. opener..
..I'll see myself out
|
Worst case, DRY doesn't work immediately and Tippett can put Nuge back with McDavid and say "I told you so!".
That was the McLellan move when he finally gave into pressure to try Drai on his own line. Doesn't work immediately, told ya so, back to McDrai line.
|
To be honest I don't think its going to click right off.. Draisatl is labouring (injury, tired?) and RNH isn't himself from last year..Yamo is still motoring though.. it'll be interesting to see, not sure what to expect really.
|
I thought Leon looked like he had a bit more jump in his step last game but maybe that's just me.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A 9PM GAME AGAIN!
Win. Must. Win. 😁
Also, it’s The Real Deal’s dad’s 65th today... so that in itself calls for a Must Win, even for those nonbelievers of the Must.

Not enough buzz about Edmonton holding Auston Matthews to ZERO points in the past two games. Could his Hart trophy be up for grabs?
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.

He was concentrating on winning the Selke. He's getting both the Hart and Selke this year. You have to remember, according to some Toronto based media guy on twitter a few weeks ago, Matthews is a real hockey player, McD and Leon are just point producers.

Ditto. Though the Starfish Kowboy looks to be in for Bouchard, at least Nygard brings a speed component

Tipp gave his boy Russell his token couple of games for trying hard in practice. Maybe next time the Oilers can just hire some refs and let Russell pick whatever teams jerseys he wants half the team to wear in their next scrimmage to give him that "game" action. Let Russell either be himself or put on whatever jersey he wants to be from the NHL.

Fun aside to The Cup.
It's namesake is tied for the lead on the Sabres in 5 V 5 goals, with 4.

I'm assuming Russell showed Nygard his belt and told him he will never take it from him.

So did Tippett fire a text off to McD, Leon and Nuge to remind them there is a game tonight and what time. Maybe they didn't put the last 2 games in their outlook calendar. I always tell everyone, if it's not in my calendar, it doesn't exist. Have the secretary send them a meeting request for tonight at 6 pm. They seem to have got their days mixed up and forget to show up the last 2 games.
Hey, no judgement here. Things get busy, it happens.

Buffalo is fascinating. I read on Twitter the other day that Tobias had more goals than Eichel, Hall & Skinner combined, and I had to go check because I didn't believe it.
Eichel has never scored less than 24 goals in his career, and he's on pace for 9 in an 82 game season.
Skinner is 2 years removed from a 40 goal season and has 0 this year.
And, while Hall has never been a huge goal scorer other than his MVP year, he's only got 1 in 20 games (he had 10 in 35 games in ARI last year).
Just an absolute disaster.
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games

Nice to see a Reinhart finally live up to the hype a bit though. 8-7-15 in 18 games.
Skinner with 0 goals and 1 point in 17 games, lol. Not sure I can think of a better example of a guy mailing it in after getting his retirement contract.
Poor Krueger already getting hated on. Along with getting COVID. At least he's being paid well.

With the Oilers playing the same teams over and over I have even less of a window into the rest of the league than usual. The last bit I have been in my car more than usual for work and listening to a lot of NHL radio.
They had an entire segment on them, their lack of success and a pile of stats. It was pretty amazing just how bad they have been. They are on track for a pile of epic ineptitude benchmarks.
More and more talk that Eichel pulls an attitude on a regular basis regarding personnel, both teammate, bench bosses and front office. All of the talking heads figured an ugly divorce was on the horizon.
