Disappointing game. I thought the Oilers were OK. A lesser team maybe they win that game. Against a decent team, OK isn't good enough.
The passed up shots are driving me NUTS!!! I love the creativity and when they work, it's awesome but when as a team you are not getting any puck luck and a bunch of guys are gripping the stick a ton because they haven't scored. Simplify the game and shoot the damn puck. AND HIT THE NET!!! My god did many guys miss some golden chances.
I thought when called upon Anderson was excellent. He made some great saves and probably took away 2 or 3 chances that would usually be a goal.
For any NHL team to win, yes you need depth scoring but you also need your stars to produce because they get the most ice time and make the majority of the money. Canes got 2 goals from Aho who's their best player, Oilers got nothing from their 2 best players.
Yamo in the top 6 needs to stop. 5 games in a row with no shots. That can't happen.
Koskinen.  He made some great saves. So hat tip to him for that BUT.... 2 of the goals were bad with the 3rd being not great on Koskinen. First goal, his pad is angled so it's behind the goal line. Now I do point the finger at Nuge a little bit because if you watch the replay, he's down the middle, so is Aho. He did not look around to see where the guys were, Aho is driving the net, Nuge is coasting. So he wasn't skating back hard. If he is, he's in better position to break up that chance. But I thought goalies were supposed to have their pads flat and straight across and if it is, that probably doesn't go in.
Second goal. That has to be stopped. Unlucky bounce past Bouchard so the puck gets out. Nurse angles him off to the boards cutting the ice in half for Koskinen. He sees him all the way. Square to the shooter. Puck hits him goes in. By his reaction, he knew it was a stinker. It can't happen. I do wonder if the goalies are impacting how the Oilers play a little so they don't press as much or are doing things differently because they don't trust the goalies. If the Oilers defense can't give up a chance like that and have it not go in, then they have no chance at all because it's impossible to hold a team to zero shots.
3rd goal. Yes it was a bit of an unlucky bounce but it's just how it is with that guy. Tight game, already gave up a stinker on the go ahead, first goal wasn't the best either. Salt in the wounds with that 3rd one.
