Pretty darn good game by the Oilers. Came out and absolutely dominated the game. Men against boys last night.
We all heard that Leon was nursing something before and into the Leafs series as he wasn't practicing but it was clearly bugging him. It looks like he's over it as the old Leon has been on display the last few games. Looks like putting Leon and McD together was just the tonic needed to get them going again after the Leafs series. I would keep Leon and McD together for 1 more game to make sure they are good and going, then break them up against the Canucks. The team is a more balanced team when they are split up. While not a great team the Canucks are a better team than Ottawa and I have fears the Nuge line will get it's lunch taken as while better last game, they were the only line that didn't score on points night and against a better team, they will do worse in my opinion.
P. Russell did what he does which is nothing. Get set up for a one timer by McD I believe and couldn't cash in of course. He may want to consider voodoo, have his stick blessed by the pope or something because I don't think he ever scores.
The only time I got remotely annoyed and my annoyance was 1o seconds where I did yell "what are you doing" is when later in the 3rd, McD, Leon and Yamo decided to go show time and I think each guy passed it back and forth to one another 2 or 3 times a piece then I think finally Yamo got the puck on a sharp angle
It was nice not having my younger brother sending me text after text of him melting down like he was in the Leafs series.
