So done with Draistil… lazy bum… picking cherries… trade this guy for a goalie.. I’m off the pouty Leon train… can never carry a line… Relies on others to set him up… wants out… get something while you can..
Most excellent comeback. There was something about the second period that just didn't feel quite right. They were playing better than Jersey, but didn't seem to get the result right away. Now if they can keep the engine running, and get another win tomorrow.
Great job Coach….they started to KYSOTI for you to a man and it payed off, then they adjusted the Forecheck to accommodate the D-Zone exits tweaks and that payed off, then they adjusted the Game Management focuses over all 3 Periods and that payed off, now they added a missing Physical dimension and this has payed off. 4 elite level adjustments by Coach Knoblauch, a true NHL caliber mind deserving of 100% of the accolades. Great win, time to roll it over.
Once again, Sam G putting up points, way more than Brown with way less ice time. Brown is just a bad signing. Im glad he got benched. Maybe that might help him in the long run
Brown should sit out again against NYR. To the people saying "He's great on the PK"…He WAS good on the PK, but the last game he was directly responsible for TWO GOALS AGAINST on the PK – so that was short-lived and probably why he got pulled. Also? He was hired as a winger for 97 who can contribute points. He hasn't scored any in 23 games, so its not like he hasn't been given a fair chance to show what he's got. Brown is this season's Patrick Russell – a big nothing burger. Great work by Erne. GO OILERS
I'll give Knoblauch a coaching tip. Take Bouchard off the power play. The forwards are getting lazy. They're not thinking creatively enough. They're relying far too much on Bouchard's shot now. They never depended on Barrie to put the puck in the net and constantly forced themselves to move and be creative. All that has gone out the window with Bouchard on the point. The PP always depended on a tic tac toe play or one timer from Draisaitl with Barrie on the point. Now the one timers are always coming from Bouchard. All the PP needs is a D to move the puck around and read the flow. Nurse or Ecks can do that. We need to break the mental dependence the guys have with Bouchard and his slap shot. When it comes to scoring on the PP slap shot goals will always be few and far between. Am I wrong? The PP stats as of late speak for itself.

Erne did more tonight than Brown's last 10 games.

Scratch Brown again
Games are won by continuous team effort and trust in the your and your team mates abilities ti get to where you want to go.

Nobody going to ask about McLeod on Drais wing? They play great together.
Erne > Brown

If you can’t get one goal playing with supposedly the two best players in the league you don’t deserve to play bottom line.
