Can I.. Can I just be a realist here?
The win was great, but all the same issues were there in the second.
Hell of a first period, but in the second the guys sat back again, pucks were being left in the open again, with the only difference was the pressure on the puck holder.
Those rebounds, the Ducks didn't have a player to eat up those rebounds last night, but be sure as heck they will be there next game.
Knobs was right saying the team played too safe and got nervous. Why? They are the god damn Oilers, and they should eat this team without a thought. Yet, they are a scared group. Quite bangs up too but hey we get one more game.
See you Thursday Oilers.. be good, do well.

Was interesting listening to Knob complaining about how his team laid back. He seems to really not want that. He was explaining how the coaching staff has been telling guys what plays they were passing up on by being afraid to push offensively to try to encourage them to make more plays and not hang back.
I guess we can complain that the coaches aren't hitting the right buttons, but this has been an issue long before Knob was here. Not sure what the solution is.
