The Oilers managed a big win vs TB and the 2 refs they signed for the game. Check is in the mail to the command center feom TB as well. What a feckless display of officiating, again.
Campbell did enough, good outing.
Finally broke up that 1st line in the 3rd, there were some issues on their side of center/inside the blueline in the 2nd period, but Connor asserted again with the GWG in the 3rd. I thought the blue line was given up pretty easy earlier in the game, but maybe TB makes you do that as opposed to recent opponents where they challenged more.
Kostin didnt make the scoreboard but gained more respect of teammates and fans. I think Kostin can obviously be a very important player down the stretch and into the playoffs. Gotta say I like the addition of him and Janmark. Murray was a weak miss.
Too bad this wasn't the old days, the Oilers could send 5 players to the Allstar game. LD shouldn't go, he needs rest. I dont think Hyman or Nuge really want to go either, although it would be cool to see Hyman make it. This guy has already hit his career high mark if I'm not mistaken.
Mcleod with another goal, Holloway played well. Foegele trying not to be moved or upping his stock. JP a -1 and an inopportune penalty in the 6:51 he was entrusted. Big boy like that and the way this game was going, he could have had an impact in his minutes, but he didnt this game. You have to think he's an Oiler only as long as Yamamoto is out, and he knows it.
I think these guys might defend better by being relentless and playing more possession on the other side of center, like last year, but they've gotta support their D better than a lot of this game, this could have gone the other way. Hopefully when Kane gets back into it they'll be even more of a force.
