Edmonton Oilers Post-Game Recap vs Chicago Blackhawks Jan. 11, 2025
The Edmonton Oilers certainly didn’t have their best a majority of tonight’s action, but hang on to win 4-3 over the Chicago Blackhawks. #EdmontonOilers #Oilers #NHL #Blackhawks #Hawks
I missed the first period, the 3rd goal from Chicago shouldn't have happened..that worries me. After that I thought the Oilers deserved that win, we outplayed them no doubt. It's gonna be a interesting week considering the road trip back to home then another trip. Let's go!
Rico stood out and played well. Enjoyed Perry with 29. I think Nuge might do better on 3rd or 4th line cause he doesn't have to pass to mcd all the time, more able to score and do his thing. Another great game for Hyman.
Game 42. Long post follows with base game statistics including some for the Chicago Blackhawks. Read, don't read, up to you. These are BASE stats not detailed ones. My comments and observations at the end.

Still feeling awful and still waiting on eye surgery so personal comments will be limited.
Pickard started slow and really wanted the first 2 back I'm sure. The 3rd one, yeah, that was clean but he first two were bad. The boys seem to be having a problem starting on time as they don't tend to wake up until the 2nd period it seems (sometimes the 3rd period). They were ahead in faceoffs until the 3rd period.
Per the stats, Oilers outshot Chicago by a lot (34 to 22), won fewer faceoffs (21 to 27), were outhit (18 to 27), had more giveaways (13 to 9), fewer takeaways (6 to 7) but more blocks (13 to 11). By the BASE numbers (not things like 5 alarm shots etc.) it was a close game and it was. The Oilers took the lead on the PP goal by Hyman and shut it down even though they faced over a minute of 6 on 4 at the end and Pickard had to make some great saves. Oilers PP and PK were both 100% (and Chicago's were both 0%). Not a lot of penalties (which seems to be more the norm for the Oilers these days).
It's a Win, Play La Bamba Baby. On the plus side BOTH Vegas and LA lost tonight in regulation and the Oilers are now 2nd in the division by 2 points over LA (though LA has 2 games in hand) and are 4 back of Vegas (with same # of games played). We play LA next so that's a biggie. We win that we get some breathing room in 2nd. VGK faces the Wild who can beat you. Chicago faces Calgary next (and Calgary were the ones that did us a HUGE solid by beating LA tonight with the Rangers beating VGK).

Why do you always end the stream when you have no faith in them coming back. Dont stream the playoffs
