This is a 5 player team.. they have to produce or nothing happens.
McDavid
Draisatl
RNH
Hyman
Roszlovik
With a distant glimmer of hope in Savoie
Entire defense looks sick
All standing still looking for stretch passes to forwards.. which clicks maybe 15% of the time.. and end up giving away possession way too easy.. . no puck transporters among them.. I thought Walman might have promise as a transporter.. but his skating looks really bad now.. the Oiler D-zone is a constant gong show this season.. the whole team is too slow to pucks and when they do they lose the puck battle too often.
Skinner actually didn't play too bad today.
McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!! (Thank you Lord!)
Tic-Tac-Tao!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World

Almost a positive comment. Skinner for as crappy as he is deserves full props. He was a star tonight. For whatever reason this team can’t figure out crap until December and maybe this year is the year the wheels completely fall off but until I see different I’m a believer.
Great win against a really good team. Time to build on this.

If they figure out what disease has infected the defence (mad cow?).. I think this team could be a top contender..

Hoping Ekholm can find his game. We know we have in Nurse and you get what you get. I got more time for Regula. Bouchard still heavily outweighs his deficiencies. Kulak is solid. Walman has won more games with his play than we have lost. His upside is elite and downside is bottom pairing. Emberson has been ‘meh’.

McDrai looking great lately. Just wish more of the other players would join in
Guessing management is getting the itch about signing Roslovic long term. He’s been great. Just gotta hope he isn’t only doing it for the payday if we do jump in with a long term deal in Jan 2026
