Why do they keep throwing Jones out there, thinking he's an NHL calibre D-man?
He's flat out not good enough. Makes bad decisions with the puck, can't pass very well, gets caught out of position wayyy too often. Jones just doesn't have it yet.
Bouchard should absolutely be in over him.

Zero help from the rest of the line up, guy has to do everything.
Jones is looking like he's taxi squad for the play-offs

Exactly. Bouchard on his off-hand is way better than Jones.
Jone's brain works too slow, his feet stop when he has the puck and is trying to figure out what to do.
I've heard that he's supposed to be a "puck carrier", but I've never seen it, his skating is average, maybe above average for some on the Oilers, but NHL-wise he's not. Plus he's Charmin soft for a D-man.

How can TO media even continue with Matthew's hype? Will Matthews get to 70 pts? Will he get 28 assists?

Congrats Connor!!!
Helluva season! Nice to see Leon putting it away for him as well.
What a player. We're so lucky to be able to watch hockey like this, and to have a player like this on our team.
Unreal.
100 points in 53 games. 🤯

The "goals are more important" argument seems to be popular now, as if 8 goals cancels out a difference of 43 assists :)
K, let's talk goals.
McDavid has been on the ice for 120 goals for and 49 against
Matthews has been on the ice for 84 goals for and 41 against.
I dunno..which guy would I rather have on my team...

Seeing the replay and the happiness of 29 and 97 hugging gave me chills of the non-douche variety.
What a bond. These moments galvanize.

I still remember lottery draft day.. I'd just finished watching him in the OHL playoffs and realizing he'd be the best player the NHL had seen in a generation.. and my only hope was that the Leafs wouldn't get him.. didn't even bother hanging around for the draft.. went out for a 3 hour bike ride.. came back and cued up TSN just to see who won the lottery.. and there is a photo of Daily.. holding a gold Oiler placard.. I just started laughing.. couldn't believe it..
We are a lucky franchise my friends .. 1st Wayne.. and now Connor.. OH YEAH !!!

I recall being in my garage watching it live on my TV.
I burst out laughing. Then total elation. I was numb. I believe I was even shaking a bit.

It’s not just that he currently doesn’t have the chops to be there.
He will never have the chops to be there.
|
And yet he's been a top 6 winger all season pretty much. Yams has had a tough season but at least he's noticeable and generates possession and scoring opportunities.
|
I don't blame Kahun for that. I don't even blame Tippett for that. We have five top six forwards. So someone has to play up.
He's probably got close to the best offensive instincts of the rest of them. Jeff Carter would have been a good pickup too for that spot.
