From the stats: Oilers were outshot (rare) by 3, out hit (no surprise) 14 to 3, Oilers won the faceoff battle by a lot (31 to 20), both teams scored 1 on the PP (though the Ducks had 2 shots at it) so no perfect PK's. Oilers had 2 more penalty minutes, a LOT more giveaways (18 to 4), a lot more (relatively) takeaways (5 to 1) and one more block. The scoreboard (and the stats) show a pretty close game when many were expecting an Oilers blowout in revenge of the last game. Didn't happen and we get a 3-2 regulation win (I LIKE regulation wins).
Leon still leads the lead in both goals and game winning goals. McKinnon has 7 more points as he has a lot more assists.
Sorry I can't really give more as I couldn't watch the game or listen to it. Still feel a quarter past dead. Still waiting for eye surgery.
Take care all
The ducks were beating the oilers, the islanders, the jets…. And now lost against the oilers. How can you expect that the oilers should score way more than 3 goals against this team? Why are the ducks not a good team? They are beating the BEST teams in the league at least….
