Great clearing attempt by Larsson getting intercepted and nearly ended up in the net off the stick of Marner. What the hell happened to this PK from last year's edition??!
|
Sheahan and Khaira must have been the PK.

I used to crap on Sheahan all the time last season, so if it turns out that he's the reason the Oil PK was good last year, I should be laughing hysterically. Khaira's play on the PK however good doesn't make up for his play the rest of the time.

I appreciate him more now too since we tried to play Turris in his exact role and Turris failed miserably. Looks like the turris PK experiment may be ending already.

Didn't catch that hopefully he's back.

The puck in the head thing was from Rishaug on twitter, but replay looks like Bear got hit out on the ice. Either way, he's done for the night. Hope it's not serious

That could be terrible. He obviously hasnt been great but we cant afford to get even thinner there. Only ray of sunshine is if Bouchard was ready AND was an improvement over one of the current 6

If someone were to ask me who the slowest skater on the Oilers was, I would likely say Barrie.
|
Just made a liar out of me on that last rush.
He just looks so slow when retrieving iced pucks in his own end on the PP.
Perhaps it’s just a lack of urgency as he’s possibly conserving energy for a possible rush.

Never in doubt.
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.

Why go Bouch when you can go...
I really hope too though that we go Bouch if Bear is out :)

Even overworked goalies stop that second Leaf goal. Can’t fault him on the third Leaf goal though.
He’s not a #1 goalie on a Cup contender. No way.

Since I'm taking up the job of Koskinen apologist, I had to watch what happened on that 2nd goal. Marner was actually trying to 1-time the pass back from Matthews. He wasn't trying to pass it back, that was a fluke bounce. Pulju hits Marner's stick just as it's coming down and it bounces straight to Matthews. Koskinen is set for that Marner shot. 4K swings his stick around and turns the Matthews shot into a flopper that perfectly goes in top shelf at the bad angle.
I get that goal against only 2 Mike Smith's out of 10.

I know which one I am more concerned with the Oilers succeeding at

I guess we didn't watch the same power play for the Leafs. Four straight clean draws by the Leafs resulted in about 5 scoring chances. We win those draws and the puck is cleared.

Of those "about 5 scoring chances" how many went in?
A clutch save, by definition of save, prevents a goal 100% of the time. My point stands.
Although, the Oilers were 58% on the dot last night so perhaps that had a bigger contribution to the win than the big saves made late in the third and in OT.

It's worth noting, a defensive zone face-off with a man short is by far the hardest draw to win. If you looked at winning percentages for different scenarios, that's the one where even the top guys are likely below 50% most of the time. There's two reasons for that - first, you have a positional disadvantage - less space, and you need to protect the net, which is a higher priority than winning the draw. Centers tend to win defensive zone face-offs less often than they do offensive zone draws. It's not because they don't want to win those ones - it's just that the position favours the attackers.
Secondly, a man less is a massive disadvantage on face-offs. It means that you have less players able to go chase loose pucks. If the draw ties up at all, the other side can afford more players to come in to aid in the battle, and even if you pull it straight back in to your corner, if it's not right where your defenceman is standing, then he's got to beat an unobstructed winger who's forechecking. On top of that, positional play is even more important when you're short-handed, so you can't spare guys to leave their positions to help - the other team can to an extent.
