Much more relaxing game to watch that's for sure. Bison King looked much better, man can McLeod skate….there were a couple just insane passes by Leon….as you said a solid effort…just what they needed…but it was the worst team in the league off of a back to back, not saying they didn't have to show up to win…a few moments that made me cringe in their own end, standing around, that the Coyotes failed to capitalize on…Thursday should be a much more intense game
All is well in Oil country again. What a game by McLeod, you'd never know he was centring the 4th line if you just looked at the box score. Jesse looked great tonight, heavy on the forecheck all night, needs to finish though that's got to be close to 20 times this yr he's whiffed on a tap in, put Yammo back on that first unit he's the only guy in months that's converted on the crease seam pass, JP, Hyman and Chaisson when he was here, know one is converting on those play's, Connor's got to be getting frustrated, gifting guys goals and 90% of the time we don't even get a shot on goal. Nice to see Mikko have a big bounce back game, still had to make way more tough stops then he should of, D at times still looked like a chicken with it's head cut off, but the forwards were much better tonight on the back track. Big thanks goes out to Kane, our PK has sucked for months and it needed a some in game practice against the 31 ranked PP.
Interesting signing today, I didn't even know he was on the Oilers radar, great numbers the last 2 yrs and had 3 straight shutouts in the playoffs and was trying to steal his team another one but his new teammate got the last laugh.
Kane's first penalty should not have been called as he actually avoided hitting Coyotes Captain as hard as he could have as he was already on his way down, but when everyone turned to look he was down on the ice and Kane standing there on top of him looking down as it looked awkward. Then the scrum started and the Ref's just instinctually called roughing minors to Kane and the guy swinging at him. The 2nd (or 3rd) penalty Kane was rushing to the front of the net and brought his arm up to block a cross check in front of the net and because Kane was like 8 inches taller than him his elbow hit the other player in the face and he went down like a ton of bricks. The other 2 were pretty much retaliatory, like "Wanna see a penalty? I'll show ya penalty" I'm sure if they would have scored on any of the penalties, he would have resisted the urge to draw another. The Oilers Defense was better by not letting any odd man rushes going the other way but it still wasn't very good and if they were playing a better team there would have been potential goal chances and I'd bet the score would have been a lot closer. At times they were having issues getting out of their own end thankfully the Coyotes couldn't capitalize on them. But I'm happy with the win and If they have another good showing against LA on Wednesday we could be tied with LA for 2nd spot in the Pacific Div 🙂
Solid win. The rest of the games left are not going to be the same calibre of the Yotes. Kane was targeted tonight but refs have been below standard on most nights. Hoping the boys keep tonight’s effort up.keep the vids rolling.
The only issue with this game is it was Arizona not even a middling team but 2 points is 2 points and they did it in a very decisive manner. Great vid as always. Take care all.
I think it was a good time for the Oilers to play a bottom feeder. A loss now could have been devastating for them, and I'm not so sure this would have been enough against the Avs, the Canes or Florida. Now they got to bounce back and put the Flames game behind them. It's important to not get stuck in a bad spell now, because then the playoff spot could vanish in a flash.
I like that we signed Ryan Fanti! Savoie and fanti had a great game against each other the other night. The future looks bright! Great game boys keep the momentum rolling against the kings.
Excellent game! I'm still not too impressed with our defense but yeah pretty much all positives. McLeod should drink some more confidence potions cause he's gonna explode sooner than later
Games like this after getting your ass kicked are needed! Need to find that anger with playoff hockey in mind though! Teams coming in should know there leaving bruised and beaten so those who want to play can prove themselves and those who don’t can watch from the bench! P.S. Don’t forget Kanes style and his head space, need to pull him aside and have him focused on the TEAM!!
It was a decent win but lets be real the coyotes are not a very good team and played 3 games in 4 nights. Still have a bad taste in my mouth from the Calgary game. Need to see more good wins to build up my confidence as it was shattered recently.
WOW they won against a sub par team 🤯 I can't believe it 😂 well the real test will be against the L.A Kings and hope the whole team play together as one and don't fall apart again 🤯💯🤬😎🇨🇦
Overall, I believe the Oilers played the same this game compared to the Calgary game. 6 goals this game vs 5 last game. PK was perfect again, and the PP did its thing. The only difference is the opponent. You're comparing one of the top teams in the league currently vs the bottom team in the league who also just played the previous night. The Oilers' defense made pretty much the same mistakes, it's just Arizona's offence is AHL quality. In the end, 2 pts is pts whether you get them from Cgy or Az, but the Oilers' goaltending and defense is holding them back from being a cup-contending team.
the thing I don't like about the Oilers nation podcast. Is They try to talk the slang the players do, & It makes them sound like marks. I do think the girl is insanely beautiful though
I don't know if you were wrestling fan? But the Oilers goaltending situation next year is going to be the exact storyline of 'demolition' when they had 3 members https://youtu.be/BsVlQsGbxOc

solid game today, now if Oilers can stay 1 or 2 games above .500 should be enough to solidify a playoff spot,

Best game yet for the toothless cat guy!

I still didn't like seeing our defense back in below the hash marks in the third.

And yeah, RIP Melnyk!

I think 2 out of 3 calls where weak

No hate love my oilers but its Arizona

I'll take 2 pts any day
Ryan Fanti is a interesting pick up definitely
What is snide? Slump?

I love what you're doing Patrick
If fanti does well during the tryout, that's indication that Skinner is on his way up next season

Good for Oilers but Yotes had 4 rookie dmen w a grand total of 30 nhl games between them.
