Good to see Connor skating and looking none the worse for wear after that collision on Thursday.

Woodcroft is taking this game seriously, as Skinner gets the start.

He picked the top left corner with that blast. What a shot!

...at this point this is more of a Statement Game for the Laffs than for the OIL...

WTH was that hit by Matthews? It almost looked like he was going for the same knee on Connor that took the hit on Thursday....

Earlier in the game, the broadcast showed a graphic with stats outlining how the Oil ranked in various categories since Feb 11. Not shockingly, they ranked horribly in goals against and PK%. However, I'm interested to see how they have ranked since Ekholm arrived and Skinner got more starts in net, because it has easily been nowhere near as bad as those stats showed in that time span.

ya, refs have moved into 'no oilers pp' mode the last few games. I guess its 'not fair' to be really good at a specific thing.

refs are straight up SCARED to call a penalty on the Leafs. Those cheating Oilers will just win with their PP again.

Dude, McLeod, what the hell was that? No way Skinner gets the blame for that one....

Light on .. no one home.. every forecheck he he falls for chasing the defenseman behind the net.. then has to chase him from 20 feet back the entire length of the ice .. low puck IQ.. doesn't like to stop on the puck.. in love with the fly-bye.

That is quite honestly the stupidest play I have ever seen in god knows how many years. Everywhere you can put a puck and you put it there. If I was the coach my head would have exploded. Good on Woodcroft for not shaking the piss out of him ala Don Cherry/Mike McEwen.

The forbidden sin. NEVER pass the puck in front of your net. Now the comeback has been in full force because of that one stupid stupid mistake. That's junior hockey right there.

Woodcroft should consider a time-out at this point. Brutal play by Nurse on that one....

I think it takes blood or unconsciousness for the Oilers to get on the PP in this one. Refs watching the evolving odds pretty close.

The refs have sucked tonight, but they are not the reason the Laffs are winning the game now. Just 3 brain-dead plays at bad times to cough up 3 straight.

Get a cloning machine and make 2 copies of Ekholm so that each pairing can have one. This D corps is just too porous otherwise.

And now Nurse takes a dumb one to cough up the PP. This is killing me.

Jeez - that turned around real quick.
And agree about the refs - they suck. Oilers should have had a few PP at least, I also agree they aren’t the ones serving up pizzas right up the gut. So many brain dead plays in that 7-10 minute span.
Oh well - PP to start the 3rd. Get one there and you have 18+ minutes to get another one by Matt Murray.

Thank god for at least one person seeing the reality in this game.
9/10 posts in here complaining about the refs. Yet, the reason the team is losing is that the ratio of terrible shifts is roughly the same as terrible posts in here.
There has been a lot of lazy hockey and WAY too many unforced errors. Add in a couple that Skinner should have saved and you have a two goal deficit.

Woodcroft has a lot to discuss with the team during this intermission, and by "discuss" I mean "screaming his lungs out". Hopefully he can get them focused for the last period.
