McDavid gets his 50th! And was the entire offense.. sadly no one else able to follow his lead.
Kulak brain fart on the 2nd goal..
Fire Drill on the 3rd goal.. couldn't clear the zone to save their life.
For a guy that has no finish, Yamamoto @ $3.1M (+ another year) is starting to be one of the worst Oiler contracts.. had at least 3 game winning goals on his stick that he couldn't manage to put in.. Doesn't add much else.. his forecheck is weak, doesn't seem to be able to retrieve the puck very often in either zone.. putting him in a trade would clear some useful cap.

Feel bad picking on a guy for size, but I worry that he's been beat up a little too much so far. He isn't built like a stocky tank like a lot of smaller guys that had longevity in the league. He's taken a lot of damage already.
Coach clearly loves his effort. I wish we could find a way back to that Yams at the start of his career that was buzzing all over the place with no fear and had some good hands around the net.

Yamo is smaller than the "small" players in the NHL you usually think of to compare.
Yamo is both short and light.. not a lot of mass.. and he doesn't have really high speed to go with it.
Yamo is listed at 5'-8" 153 lbs.
Reference Players
Marchand is 5'-9" 181 lbs.
Marty St. Louis was 5'-8" 176 lbs.
Johnny Hockey 5'-9" 165 lbs
McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!! (Thank you Lord!)
Tic-Tac-Tao!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
