My thoughts on the game.
The whole team looked like it was shot out of a cannon, especially McDavid. He must have taken not scoring on his bday personally because he had 3 but could have doubled that easily. I thought the Oilers were all over the Canucks for most of the game and was actually frustrated it was closer than it should have been. Demko was outstanding and kept them in it.
McD line was fantastic.
Leon line looked good again. Kahun had some chances but with all those PP's and PK, it took some steam from him. Yamo looks legit.
3rd line I thought was a lot better. JP is coming which is nice to see. This is only his second game in North American in almost 23 months so it will take him a bit. Arch looked more engaged and got robbed but looked a lot better. Turris looks good especially on the PK. Nice to have what looks like a 3rd line finally.
4th line they keep getting caved in. This isn't me hating on the guy, I just think they will continue to struggle 5 on 5 as long as Khaira is at center. In my opinion, for a line to be effective, typically the center has to be the driver otherwise you have to have an elite level winger to get away with it. I just don't think Khaira has it in him to be an effective center. I think Haas will take that spot when he is ready and the line will be better. I think Neal will take Chiassons spot which I think will help them 5 on 5 as he's a much more skilled player. Not that Chiasson has been bad, he just isn't converting on his golden PP chances while Neal probably would have popped a couple.
Defense
Nurse - Bear - continue to be good. Bear just keeps making all these subtle plays and Nurse looks like a force.
Jones - Larsson - much better game by Larsson. Jones needs to calm the down as he looks shaky.
Koekkoek - Barrie - I think they look decent. Brand new team, brand new partner. Usually they would have preseason to work on chemistry. Both look solid. I think Barrie is looking better and better on the PP.
I wonder if we see Koekkoek elevated with Larsson and Jones either dropped with Barrie or taken out to give him a game to reset.
I thought Koskinen was good last night. I thought he was good the night before. When your team isn't giving up break aways and wide open slot looks, it's amazing what your goalie can look like.
