Beauty by 97.

Hope this game isn’t like yesterday and many other games where the team show’s offensive prowess early and suddenly assume they are Team Canada.

Out running some errands, so I can't watch the game. But I'm pleased to read The Oilers are doing well in it.

They are gradually easing their foot off the pedal.

I hope Ludvig accidentally highsticks an Oiler today. If he doesn’t get the dog piss beaten out of him, he will be chirped the rest of the game.

Jackass.

Decent game for the squad today... however still leaking a lot of high grade chances.

The Oil need to work on their team speed and lateral mobility, as that would cut down on a lot of the holes in the D coverage.. They look sluggish too often.

Is it just me or is Pickard looking like an arguably better goalie right now?

The guy is almost always solid in net for the Oil.

Yeah, nice that they don’t even need to consider Campbell for playoffs.

Makes decision simple.

Good bounce back. Pens are a great opponent for us clearly :)

Dubas really needed to fire Sullivan. Pens look like a team that has completely tuned the coach out. They are old too of course but even Crosby is slacking defensively now. Team looks checked out.

So what happens after the 4th goal? Kane was hammering on the ice for the pass, Ekholm went to Nurse instead, then the back of the net. It looks like Kane pushes Nurse, although he's smiling, then he and Ekholm seem to push off one another and the camera cuts away. Can't tell at that point if it's just celebrations or if it's weird. The very next clip as they skate to the bench though, it looks like Kane is yelling at Ekholm.

I hope there's nothing to these rumours, but there's definitely some reason to be concerned. And if there IS smoke there, then probably a huge miss by Holland not to get a different top six guy and to move Kane out at the deadline.

You've voiced your personal dislike for Kane in the past and are clearly on a witch hunt here; this is obviously just playful jocularity in a won game.

If this had been McDavid, Draisaitl, and Nugent-Hopkins instead of Kane, Ekholm, and Nurse, you would not have even considered bringing it up.

Likely not, because it has be known pretty public knowledge that McDavid, Draisaitl, Nuge, Nurse, Hyman, etc are a tight knit group of friends on and off the ice. Kane has a history of being a less than stellar teammate on the ice and the media has been hilighting some of these things as of late.

A recent playful article in the Athletic (Feb 1, by DNB) had 15 Oilers answer questions about their teammates, and one that stuck out to me was "Who is most likely to be the last person in the room for a team meeting". 80% voted Kane (12), 2 voted Skinner and one voted Foegele. An anonymous Oiler said this one is easy, “This should be unanimous”.

Is this enough to hang a player? No, but it adds fuel to an already smoldering pile. On the bright side Kane was also voted best dressed (8 votes). More smoke. Kane might be a good person, but good people can be horrible co-workers. When stuff like this arises I always try and imagine how a similar thing would effect my work place. In my experiences I would say the people who are really serious about getting the job done would be extremely annoyed and likely to be passive aggressive. The majority would be indifferent and then you would have a couple people either defending the actions, or attempting to have conversations with the person to correct the behaviour. Long story short. People as a whole do not like difficult conversations and rarely deal with personality issues up front and in the moment. A divisive coworker can create a lot of problems in a small group.

Byfuglien throwing Kane's stuff in the shower came after Evander repeatedly dressed in casual clothing for team meetings, despite being talked to and defying team rules. Sounds like Kane can be a difficult personality and is still growing into a better human and teammate. I hope he finds it on another team.

I guess we differ in opinions on players. I don't think it's a requirement to be besties with everyone on the team. Would it be great if everyone hung out together all the time? Sure but it's not realistic. There are people in my office that I wouldn't choose to hang out with after work time but can I still work with them? Absolutely.

These guys are ridiculously competitive. You don't get to be in the NHL if you weren't. I am sure just about everyone of them has an EGO bigger than most of ours. When you are that competitive and have that big of an ego, I am sure at times guys will clash. But I can't see these guys hating eachother enough that they would jeapardize winning by avoid passing to a wide open teammate just to stick it to him like was suggested.

I am not going to suggest I know every NHL player, but I do know a few and they are very open to talk about despising certain teammates over their careers. Pro sports is not much different than a regular person's job in relation to how people manage different personalities. Pro sports has had many star athletes that did not fit into a team culture. The difficult personality usually moves on to a different team multiple times throughout their career. You do not need to look to far in all sports to find these type of players. Kane's past history will always play into these discussions.

And. no one is saying that Ekholm refused to pass to Kane, but I believe the inference was Kane was upset that he did not get the pass. Ekholm probably made the play he felt was correct. Kane's reaction may have been in jest, but it leaves people questioning due to his past behaviours.

Additional edit/afterthought [I agree that co-workers do not need to be best friends. It would be weird if they always were. Professionalism is paramount and if the players are in fact not trying to work with Kane then shame on them. That being said, Kane has to be professional as well and accept whatever role he gets. It's a 2-way street]

Exactly what I saw here. Ekholm not passing to Kane isn't the issue. He made a decision that looks pretty good given that it ends up in the net.

benv is correct that I have some dislike for Kane based on some of his history. I don't have a lot of patience for people who hit women - and while it gets muddy when Kane's ex-wife is concerned, there's very little doubt that the woman before that in Buffalo got badly injured after an encounter with him. There's still an impending civil trial related to that. This is not related to that though. This is directly related to the clip.

It's an awkward interaction, and the Ekholm/Kane interaction at the end of the clip is very hard to spin as a positive interaction. They clearly are yelling at each other - which is weird right after a goal is scored. I don't think you could say that Ekholm should have passed to him, either. He made a great decision on the Nurse pass, and it went in the net.

Before posting this, I watched this clip multiple times to see if I was just reading more in, but all the interaction around Kane is awkward there.

So what happens after the 4th goal? Kane was hammering on the ice for the pass, Ekholm went to Nurse instead, then the back of the net. It looks like Kane pushes Nurse, although he's smiling, then he and Ekholm seem to push off one another and the camera cuts away. Can't tell at that point if it's just celebrations or if it's weird. The very next clip as they skate to the bench though, it looks like Kane is yelling at Ekholm.

I hope there's nothing to these rumours, but there's definitely some reason to be concerned. And if there IS smoke there, then probably a huge miss by Holland not to get a different top six guy and to move Kane out at the deadline.



Nah man, you're reaching. At 0:18-0:19 it looks like playful smiling to me. Those Facebook rumors are nonsense so far. Just looking for clicks by feeding into people's preconceived feelings about the guy.

As for the team meeting stuff - some people are just chronically late for everything. I have a couple friends like that, and a wife. Doesn't mean they need to be booted from the roster.

Before I was married, I was a guy who was typically at least 5 mins early to everything. After I got married, I am typically at least 5-10 mins late for any event and it's not because my habits changed. So you are right about some people being late just because.

Being late to a meeting once in a while is not a big deal, but if it is always happening then it becomes alarming. Punctuality is a habit, and not an excuse for not respecting everyone's else's time. For most, work meetings have certain expectations that are understood and the group is expected to live within the rules set forth.

Not picking on you RDOF, but my question would be to you is how does being married all of a sudden change from being early to a meeting, to now being 5-10 minutes late? Is it a change in priorities? How does your being late impact the group? Do you care? Should you care?

Work and home life are separate and although they do overlap, it is pretty darn important to differentiate the two. There is no excuse for chronic lateness, but there are self-serving reasons.

I should have clarified. I am not late ever for work related things or anything when I am by myself. I am only late when I am going somewhere with my wife. She is one of those people who are always behind.

I even have gone so far as to say to her "you don't have to buy me a single present for anything at all for 1 year if you will guarantee we will always be on time". She said no. icon_lol

Yeah, I noted the smile too. It's just weird. Nurse isn't smiling from that shove. And then when Ekholm comes in there's another shove that the camera cuts away from so it's hard to know what it is. If that was the sum total, I probably don't say anything - but then the camera cuts back as they're skating to the bench and Kane is gesturing to Ekholm and saying something and he looks anything but jocular or happy there - which is weird because they just scored and it's 4-0.

I agree with the above points about not needing to like all your teammates. I agree that breathless coverage of whether Kane and McDavid are facebook friends or Insta followers is silly. But I do think there's some danger signs here and we've seen before that where things have gone south with Kane, he's occasionally left a lot of scorched earth. I hope that's not what's going on, but between this, complaining about his ice time during a long winning streak, and then some of these other little things and it is something that is a little concerning.

TNT had mostly the same shots.


I kind of think Kane banged his stick so hard to draw the defender towards him and was excited he opened up the space for Nurse.
