The Oil showed up to play tonight. Now, if they could just put that same effort in for the rest of their games, maybe they might make it back to the playoffs again. I'm still doubtful, though.

To be fair, it did go in off the Laffs player (bit of an own-goal, in fact).

Devin Shore replaces Khaira on the PK and has been noticeable 5 on 5. JJ is in tough to get his job back. That whole line looked good.

Kassian played his best hockey in a year after the Matthews goal.

Koskinen was average and that’s good enough.

D all played solid games.

Borderline playoff team, with room to grow.

Did not expect that result. Game was a bit of a snoozer - classic Tippett hockey. Still, I'll gladly take the 2 pts. MUCH better defensive game all around.

I mean, they SHOULD be talking about Springer for 47 minutes. Easily the biggest outside free agent they've ever signed and the network wants everyone to watch.

JP had a good game again. I would really like to see him get a better opportunity with that powerplay unit.

Talking about that powerplay unit.. I think they truly miss Klefbom. Through these last 3 games I’ve noticed several drop passes to that left side of the ice where Klef would normally have been stationed. But with Barrie on the other side, it’s out of the zone and they waste 5-15 seconds getting back in and set up.

Better effort.
I think Shore has taken JJK's job for good
Kassian was actually initiating some hits tonight, his hands are still below par,rolling puck off the McD feed, shoul have been a goal and a 3 pt night for McD.
Nice to see JP get pt. on the PP, this might get him going..
Yamo-motor still a force.. need to show the rest of team a Yamo highlight video to how them how to forecheck, and get pucks..

Sieve goal on Kaskinen, needs to be better..
Turris is still the weak link on his line.

Might call for an adjustment of the PP. Nuge can't really do that sneaky back pass to try to set up a 1-timer by the D now that the guy there is right handed. Maybe we need another right handed guy on the top unit on the left side.

It hasn’t just been Nuge. I’ve seen Drai and Connor do it, instinctively, also.

But yea. Some adjustments should occur regardless. And those adjustments should not include nurse on that top unit.

It is kind of funny that we've been clamouring for years that they really need a right shot to blast from the point on the PP, and now we have one, but we miss Klefbom.

I think some of that is familiarity, and likely to be the case with Bouchard too. They had incredible chemistry as a unit last year, and this year it's taking a little while to come around. Honestly, the PP, despite its struggles, isn't my biggest concern. They've produced some high quality chances in most games, and with those players it's only a matter of time until they score...and probably have a game where they get 5 on the man advantage too.

I'm a little more concerned that they haven't looked very dangerous at all at even strength in all but that second game against Vancouver. They're not generating a lot of great chances at evens and they've been pretty badly outscored there.

And of course the goaltending too. Koskinen was decent most of tonight, but that Matthews goal was bad, and he almost let in an even worse one just a couple minutes later on another shot from below the goal line deep in the corner. He's not inspiring a lot of confidence. With all our LTIR money, I hope that Holland is working the phones hard trying to find us a good goalie that could be had in a trade.

Do we have LTIR money? Only seeing ~300k left now. Can we do more than just swap around cheapo goalies like the waiver carousel?

Bet that Kostko ends up around 0.910 or better this year. He's no world beater, but bleh, still just put him in that good enough to make the playoffs camp. If you put in an honest effort in front of him, he'll give you a good shot to win on average. Unlike some goalies that actively screw your team over with stupid plays.

One day we do need to find a top end goalie for sure. Chia handcuffs still linger right now. Team has to actually try in their own end. Not gonna get bailed out often.

I think that the later in the season we get, the more we can spend on a goalie. I still would be targeting one of those teams with a couple starter-quality goalies. If you could get a Georgiev, it wouldn't cost a lot in cap hit. Could probably fit him in simply by burying Mike Smith or giving them Khaira or someone else in the deal (along with whatever they actually want - a draft pick or two most likely).

I know you didn't watch, but don't mistake, the Oilers beat the Leafs. They played with energy, were defensively responsible, Koski was great (don't listen to the Debby Downers), PP got a goal, shut the Leafs down in the 3rd, and no panic attack when the goalie was pulled. Certain people just can't deal with this team if they don't fail like they expect.

The compete Tippett showed to keep that mask in check really inspired the team to get pucks deep, bodies to the net and play their game. A win is a win, is a win. Look for Tippett to continue that inspiring compete level going forward, the club needs it.

It wasn't a win where you will remember it a year from now. It was a not overly exciting, ugly, hard fought win BUT those types of wins count for the same amount of points as a super exciting win.

Koskinen other than the goal was very solid. They can win with goaltending like that and in all honesty, he's been pretty solid.

I thought the whole defense was pretty solid. The played lock down defense, didn't give the Leafs much, cut the shots down dramatically. I looked at the minutes played, Russell played the least at 15:21. Larsson, Barrie, Bear, Koekkoek all played a little over 19 mins. Nurse had 21. I think they need to be just like that every game, balance out the minutes. Koekkoek, holy man this guy has been a hell of a signing so far.

I thought the McDavid line was better than the last few games. Still waiting for McDavid to look like McDavid. All the media was raving about how he looked faster in camp. Feel free to take the governor off McD. Is he another guy that feeds off the crowd? Kassian's play in the corner on Matthews goal, holy man that was bad but he picked it up after and was good. I really hope he takes that play as the wake up call to get it going from the drop of the puck. Nuge was just meh again. He's doing a great job driving his price to resign down.

Leon's line was decent. I am loving Yamo. The guy just keeps going. For a tiny guy, he sure comes out a lot with pucks. If they could just get his effort level to rub off on a few guys. I am thinking Kahun is going to get one real soon.

Turris's line. Turris is great on draws - 70%- great on the PK but he needs to pick it up 5 on 5. Guys are coming back, he better watch it. JP was OK again. He and Nygard got less than 10 mins but he got an assist on Leon's goal for just basically causing problems in front of the goal. Good for him. Hope he continues. Nygard is another guy who was OK but guy are coming back.

4th line. - Arch did was he does best and looked good. Shore looked good again. Is Khaira taking notes because that is EXACTLY what a 4th liner should do. Chiasson... meh. I think he is holding Neal's spot for him.

Big win for them though. I hope it showed them what can happen if the team as a whole plays solid defense and isn't giving up over 30 shots a game. Koskinen in 5 games has faced 171 shots. That's insane. The nice thing about the win is there is a lot of room for the team to improve offensively.

It's a woke league though.

The biggest problem with Cassie is she's starting to act like she's a big time. When she first came in she was humble.

Now, I get the feeling that she thinks she's the star of the show.

LOL. Career batting average of .270?

It was a weak free agent class and Springer was one the best of that group available. I don't think this dude is that much of a game changer for the Jays. Maybe I'm wrong, but that batting average is meh.

I should have did this Blue Jays thing in the OT forum, but I’ve been a dodger fan since I was 4, picked them bc they won the World Series the year I was born. Springer is tainted to me from the whole garbage bin thing. But! The guy is a good ball player, I can’t deny that.

Damn, I wish I didn’t sit this one out now.

Didn’t sound pretty, but who cares?

Sounds like a “steal 2 points and get out......eer....stay in town. Yeah. Lame. 🤮

Rumour on the street is Leon scored too.

Rumour also has it, that Puljujarvi got an assist AND we scored an empty netter.

WE WON A MUST WIN GAME BOYS! Gotta start somewhere.

AND Tippett's mask wasn't wrapped under his chin with his nose and mouth hangings out all game long!

I would actually give that more credit for the win than anything.

Meh, that's just a pose anyway, the players directly in front of him are shoulder to shoulder, hacking and spitting, and maskless.

My only real beef with Cassie Campbell is that she's an unabashed Flames fan and doesn't even try to moderate that. Her husband works for the Flames, so maybe not THAT surprising, but still, it's annoying on a national broadcast to have such homerism.

Craig Simpson won Cups for the Oilers, and then was a member of the coaching staff and has friends throughout management and somehow he manages to stay a little objective, so I don't think it's too much to ask.

I can't stand Cassie Campbell. I immediately turn the channel when she talks. Even Louie Debrusk who does a ton of Oilers games, doesn't come off as much of a homer as Cassie. I don't really find her insight to the game overly good either.

Yeah, she is simply not good. There was another woman that CBC had doing some color commentary a year or so ago that was infinitely better. Can't remember who it was. Think it was only temporary for a week or so. But, at least proved it's not just a female bias thing. Cassie is legitimately not very good just like lots of male guys have been over the years. NHL should make an effort to bring in another woman that can push Cassie out of the prime time stuff :)
