A game we should have won. Thanks for the update Patrick! Go Oilers.
There’s a rumour going around that Nacho Platter was Noah Philp’s nickname when a Golden Bear.
If Klingberg works out then I’d consider trading Bouchard, over half his points are from playing alongside Draisaitl and McDavid. Bouchard is worth more on the trade block than paying him 5 million or more next season, he blew it again vs Washington, to inconsistent and is a huge liability on defence for a run at the cup. Probably could get a good shut down defender and a pick or two for Bouchard while the value for him is still there. Two players I’d like to see gone at trade deadline are Bouchard and J Skinner for an upgrade on defence and toughness.
Stop using Stuart Skinner for the next game,give more confidence to Pickard, he can handle it.
Pickard needs more starts.
The Oilers lost in Vancouver, but it was not due to the terrible officiating. It was more a factor of being at the end of a gruelling road trip than anything (which probably contributed to Skinner being outplayed and Bouchard making more of his trademark brain farts). The refs and DOPS screwed the team over for the 3 games following.
Against Washington, the Oilers were goalied whereas Skinner was average, and Bouchard achieved his typical 3 big errors a game. Pickard's great for a back-up which means consistently average goaltending, but the team seems to play more conservatively when he's in net, and that means more wins than losses. They should play him more. He's a great deal for his cap hit.
IMHO Drai for MVP this season.
Need solid, big defense additions. Current defence doesn’t scare anyone
💯 % Leon was as advertised last night. I really wonder if the rest of the team will in this next game. They want ice time, well boy's step up take advantage. I'm sure when the Captain is play the bench is complaining about ice time. Thanks for your update Patrick. GO OILERS 🏒 🍻 beers after work watching the Fanatic update.
