"St. Louis hockey insider "shocked" Edmonton Oilers failed to keep excellent Philip Broberg"

.. I tend to agree.. he was Oilers 3rd best D-man last playoffs.. should have been a priority signing.. he'll be on the St, Louis top D pair in short order.




Kr55 can speak better to this than I can, but I believe the advanced stats on Broberg suggested he was more lucky than good in the playoffs. I think he was underwater for chances against, but had a really high on-ice sv%.

That's not to say he wasn't a valuable contributor, and probably the right guy to play over Desharnais, but I think he wasn't as amazing as it's being suggested...

I'm staying silent until his luck runs out now lol.

He even got a 2nd assist on a late PPG in a 8-1 loss with all the sens PKers just standing straight up letting a cross ice pass for Holloway to score. Robbed me of an Ullmark shutty of course in my pool.
Highest xGA in the game, but somehow the only D that didn't get scored on. The magic is still flowing, this season is cursed so far :)

Foegele with 4 goals as well now. Only Drai with more on our team. We having fun yet?

Well crap. You expect a guys luck to turn but who would expect your knee being taken out by a midget like Marner on a routine rub out on the boards.

Scary one for Holloway;

Hopefully he is ok. Finishing his shift then collapsing does not look good.

Damn, that is awful. Kept playing for so long after. Not sure I've ever seen something like that before.

Hope Holloway is OK.

This doctor does analysis on sports injuries, did one on E. Kane’s and already has one on Holloway.

Cole’s notes: speculates it’s not too serious. There is a blood pressure regulator behind the neck muscle which probably got disrupted, so his arteries dilated after some time and ended up feeling light headed. Heals quickly.
