Ekholm.. man what a difference.. every time he got the puck my apprehension level was reading zero..
great physical presence, cycle buster, smart plays, not bad for just jumping off a plane. Wait until he's fully integrated .. or .. more to the point.. the other defencemen are able to integrate with him.. good times! Makes such a difference when you have a tall defenceman.. the extra reach is such an advantage for greasing out guys along the boards, and getting to loose pucks first.. certified 1st pair NHL D-man.. worth the trade pieces.

I also remember he's got a bomb of a shot.. and think his offence potential is way under the radar.. Its probably because the offensive D-man in Nashville has always been Josi.. with Ekholm being relied on to drive the shutdown pairing..
I think his numbers going forward may surprise .. lots of potential points floating around with McDavid and LD flying all over the place scoring goals..

Only one game I know.. but the defence was noticeably better vs. one of the best teams in the East.

Dave-Brown Hopkins.. Wow.. I saw RNH going over to Holl after the Yamo head shot and I was thinking he was just going over to give him a good scolding.. then they dropped the mitts.. then I thought "Nuge what are you doing bud.. you're going to get killed!".. then Nuge turns into the Burnaby Hulk and rag dolls Holl.. never saw that coming at all!

That hit by Holl got Yamo in the head, he might've aimed for the shoulder.. but he got Yamo flush to the head.. amazing Yamo got up.. should be a review by NHL PS.

Kostin had a great game.. in fact that whole line was buzzing..
That play where he drove wide to the net with the puck and sent flying into the air across the crease.. at first I thought it was the goalie's stick then on replay I saw it was Giordano's leg coming across, dangerous play, should have been a call for tripping.. guy is just plain garbage.

Oh.. and Foegle's goal should have counted.. ref with the nano-second whistle.. 6-2 Oilers.

LD.. he had more speed and quickness than I've seen from him for quite a while.. great game.. and very few turnovers! Excellent.

McDavid.. on fire.. management needs to go all in when he's cruising at this level.. he's from outer space man..👽

Great Team Win.

.. Next up!!

McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!!
Tic-Tac-Tao!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
