Much needed win!
Colorado next is terrifying. Just glad we got this win though.

Much needed win. Vegas looks weak which is great for us.
Ingram beat by 2 clown plays by his teammates and still manages a rare Oilers goalie 0.900+ night. Yay.

I think Nurse is the dumbest player in the league. He constantly has these shifts where he just seems to be skating around with a look on his face like he has no clue what he should be doing. So he’ll skate fast to…nowhere. He’ll leave a prime scoring spot open to throw a random hit. He’ll abandon an opposing forward he’s covering to go see what his D partner is doing…they need to move him to F or sit him.
As for the rest of the game - meh. Ingram was fine. Most of the team looked dopey outside of a few plays.
Anyway - I’ll take it. 2 back of Vegas with same GP. 3 back of ANA and they have a game in hand.
If we could go on a little run here, the division is there for the taking.

And, if they lose the next 3, they are out looking in…
And losing the next 3, Colorado, Dallas and red hot Blues, is where i would put all my money on…
They are a weak team… there are no hopes this year; The team has been dismantled by a mediocre GM;
I don’t know what’s coming…. but i think the glory days are over…. And as usual, our glory days just means losing 2 cups because we were marginally built; Hyman down, and we were toast last year;
Until the league is willing to deal with taxation, americans will win it 100%; They have to much advantage in player selection and overall depth.
There…. i said it!

It's good to vent. Go outside, take a deep breath and maybe you can come around to the idea that the division and the playoffs are not out of reach. Avs and Stars have had bouts of mediocracy, and the Blues are very beatable.
Hot take. I am calling 1-1-1 record over the next 3 and the team shows a pulse. 5 out of 8 points would be a decent road trip considering the competition.

Hot take to your hot take, the win will be against the Avs and the regulation loss to the Blues.

Too funny.. and unfortunately too true.. agree he looks confused the majority of the time.. then just lets impulse rule his actions.
Dickenson is a great add.. the guy plays smart.. Henrique's replacement going forward.
Walman still looking like an AHL defenseman out there..
Murphy looked better.. not a great skater but makes smart plays, even with Walman as a boat anchor.
The best part of the game was seeing Anderson choke up on 2 goals.. Podz blew by him.. then he breaks his stick and runs around like a donkey. for the 3-1.
He's a minus -6 in 15 games for Vegas.. Anderson's value dropping game by game.. he's UFA end of season.. might not even be signed by Vegas.. Vegas gave up a 1st, 2nd, Zack Whitecloud, and a NCAA prospect.. lol!
Vegas roster is a lot slower now.. which helped the flow of our game.. same thing with LA, they're slow now too.. Oilers looked good in comparison.. we'll see how we do with a stacked Avs team.. only thing we have is that you can only put 5 skaters out on the ice at one time..
