Mike Rupp and Stu Grimson look at Evan Bouchard’s new role on the Oilers power play and the team’s use of stretch passes against the LA Kings in Round One of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
now ya just gotta fix that Great Pylon Vinny Desharnais!! blew it entirely on the first 2 LA goals; had big help from Nurse on goal 3……did NOT play after mid second period! Now we know why Oil have 7 D men dressed!
Edmontons powerplay being the best ever in NHL history, considering the era we're in compared to the past, it's not talked about enough. And having probably the most skilled player to ever play the game is the obvious factor.
The fun that sports pundits have together is so wholesome. They should have segments with them just talking about road closures, home improvement, the societal changes brought by gen z and pay inequalities!
entire team is impressive. glad to see bouchard, hyman, kane all doing great. skinner just keeps getting better. they were 18th in december lol. ekholm was a huge addition also
Interesting to hear about people talking about "who's going to win the powerplay". That situation reminds me so much when Eric Cantona retired from Manchester United in the 90s and everyone was asking Alex Ferguson who are you going to get to replace him. But he knew and said "I've got a ready made replacement". And that person, straight out of the youth set up at Man U was the now legendary Paul Scholes. I hope Bouchard can reach the heights that Paul Scholes did.
I said before the season even started that they should trade Barrie and let Bouchard take over, and run with it even if he struggles initially. So satisfying to see them do it and it working out even better than I expected. And to get Ekholm on top of that addition by subtraction is just chef's kiss. It's like an actual perfect roster move. Gotta give Holland a lot of credit for nailing this one.

The person running the camera needs to swerve
Basically if “Captain Hindsight,” was a real person. Thanks for….
Great takes
maybe when you are talking about someone and telling people to watch him you shouldnt have your video over top of them?

Very high chance the puck went up Doughtys stick blade.

Gotta give credit to Barrie for sending Bouchard a message after getting traded, telling him to be confident, and not let the big boys intimidate him.
nuge huge
Чувак в галстуке и коротких брюках.
I hate your tiny socks!! dress like a normal person.. Ugg
This is like Howie Meeker, but cooler….
i'd like to see the oilers win some more games without relying on pp goals to offset their high amount of goals against.
I was very happy when Edmonton drafted Bouchard at 10th because I knew the potential he had.
75%+ pp average is insanity. lets go oilers.
oilers playing disciplined hockey. love to see it

I love how you draw arrows, highlight the players and move them around. Makes it so much easier to understand what you're saying.
