I shouldn't be surprised but I am with the Campbell hate here. People seriously think he should have stopped the OT winner?

An absolutely horrendous line change as 2 Oilers decide it's a great time to change as the Preds are firing the puck up the ice. What's worse is Yamo who was the pressure guy on the puck decides it's time to change them leisurely strolls to the bench. So they instantly created a 2 on 1 from the freaking center line. Then the goal scorer is allowed to walk in to the inside hash marks, pick his spot and rip it and people expect ANY goalie to stop that!! If an NHLer with all the time in the world can't beat a goalie from that spot 100 times out of 100, then he shouldn't be in the NHL. I thought Campbell was the main reason they got a point last night.

I thought Leon was awful last night.

I thought the Kulak and Barrie pairing was good but the other 2 were lousy. Bouchard was brutal again. His defensive awareness is beyond bad right now and the Niemo - Bouchard pairing was a nightmare. It seems it's a competition between Bouchard and Nurse to see who can have the worst give away.

They just continue to make 5 star mistakes that always end up in their net. The other teams don't have to generate a lot of offence on their own. All they have to do is sit back and wait for an Oiler to do something stupid and turn the puck over. Try for a cross ice pass that has to get through 2-3 defenders but if it connects, oohh baby!. Trying soft backhand passes with a defender right beside you. Firing it blindly up the wall, trying to deke though 2, 3, 4 guys on line changes. If there is a stupid low percentage, high danger play to be done vs doing the boring, safe, won't make a highlight reel play, the Oilers will default to the high danger play every time.

Yeah on that last play Yams could have kept on the last guy back to allow the Nuge change and maybe thwart the stretch pass off the boards, Nuge maybe doesn't change and stays with that other guy guy, and Carrier tried his best to hit Campbell's glove but missed. OT is usually won on an error and there were 3 on that sequence. I wish Campbell's glove was hit with the puck, but mid-low glove seems to be the place to shoot, among other places.

Nurse got away with a huge giveaway in the 3rd.

Leon doesn't move around much with the puck when Connor's on the ice, that should be clear to anyone. If Leon is on the RH boards down to the corner and static, if you focus on him defensively sometimes a pass gets through but most times the play dies and you get the puck back. Make Leon the main guy on his own line and make him move more.

For me, when an NHLer is able to shoot from where Carrier was with no one even hurrying him in the slightest, that should be an automatic goal. The only way the goalie saves it is if he missed his shot. He went right inside the far post.

The mental mistakes this team does especially by vet players makes me want to pull my hair out. I can excuse Yamo changing a bit because he was down in the far end, the Preds guy behind the net so that guy was out of the play but Nuge's change, inexcusable. 3 on 3 OT is all about creating 2 on 1's. Nuge gave the Preds an easy 2 on 1 by choice.
