I was at this one, pretty pensive effort through most of the game tbh. Oilers were plain lucky early in the game not to be down by a couple.

Kane had it going on most of the night I thought, even aside from the obvious. I think Connor's wheels are coming back.

Pretty ghastly for some on the back end though with the exception of Nurse, Ceci with a decent night for Ceci, Bouchard with 3 points and second star, but abysmal soft defending, zero urgency. I didnt think Ekholm played that well either. For Bouchard, kind of a night that Coffey had some nights, but with less speed and offensive acumen.

Old habits though. Random loose Kraken guys wide open in the slot. Breakout was horrible as usual. 3rd line with some good zone time at times but zero going to the net. Not a lot of urgency in general for pucks at net.

It was going poorly. We were going to bail on this one halfway through the 3rd, but hung on for some reason. Oilers giving no indication and the refs were deciding this....2 mystifying calls, phantom trip on Nuge, then I forget who, a crosscheck that didn't happen. Then Kane scores with 6 or 7 min left, but still not much threatening until late, then they got Skinner out and by golly nuge to drai to kane and in.

So overtime, and they send out Ekholm and Bouchard with LD. Did anyone watch the postgame and get a rationalisation of that? Like are they trying for possession and a quick change or something? Nothing good happened there that I saw. Anyway, they did finally get some pressure out of 97/93 with a couple chances, then Kane is pretty heroic out there with Hyman on some possession keeps and scores. You get enough quality in your top 6 and someone's going to do something, theoretically. Tonight it was EK91.

Pandemonium in the building. So basically probably the most pumped I've been at the ending of any game outside a playoff game, for a long time if ever. Pulled one they needed out of their arses, but clearly lots of work to do and an incomplete effort. Felt like the Oilers just heisted this one from the Kraken and some terrible refs.
