It was a pretty exciting game to be at. I am very happy they got the 2 much needed points.
The Oilers were the better team for 54 mins. I wouldn't say that Vegas was better in the last 6 to tie it up, they just had things go their way. I don't like blaming refs but they played a part in how the game went. Pretty soft penalties on the Oilers, then 2 absolutely blatant missed calls on Vegas to allow them to come back. McLeod was hauled down in his own end trying to come out. When you compare to what they called trips on the Oilers, I can't believe that wasn't called. Then the Vegas dman gets to pin McD in the corner and rip his stick out of his hands. If that's not holding the stick then I don't know what is.
Vegas got very lucky on the 3rd goal. Goes off 2 Oilers to Hutton, he fires it. I didn't love that goal on Skinner. The 4th goal was on McLeod. Gave the puck away in their own zone, then is standing in front covering no one while Kolesar bats in it. McLeod wasn't good again.
Other than him, I thought the most of the Oilers players were good. Bouchard makes a guy want to cover his eyes in the d zone on almost every shift but I guess that's just how he will be.
The PK. I don't know what Stuart is doing but man it's good. Woody not putting him in charge of it a long time ago is a big mistake as it always sucked under Woody. The Oilers d zone play is night and day better. I don't know if guys are just trying harder, Knoblauch explains how to do it better or probably both but it's better since he took over.
