Hard fought game. Great win by the boys. I wonder if Marc-Andre Fleury has anything left in the tank for a playoff push. Campbell, Broberg for Fleury. Right now the wild are out of a playoff spot.
They needed to improve their PP stats so the 2 were nice, although ya, that first one should have been on the earlier hook instead of what was actually called…. I'm just used to seeing Connor do that to keep defenders sticks off of him so didn't think much of it.
The funny thing was that I have Hyman in fantasy and I got a notification on my phone that he got 2 goals. I saw the first* one (now known as the 2nd) and I was like oh so another goal must be coming. Goal gets scored and suddenly hats are flying 😂

Oilers win 3-1 in Edmonton to continue their streak to 7 in a row so far. Two of the goals were PP goals (so the PP is working again with 2/3). Hyman scored all goals with Bouch getting 2 Primary and 1 Secondary assist. Hyman's 3rd hat trick of the season and 4th of his career ALL of which come with the Oilers. Considering how many men were in the crease it's amazing Skinner could change his mind (or his underwear) with that little room let alone make any saves. They waived it off initially but on review it came back. Yes, a shutout would have been nice for Skinner but a .967 Save %age isn't chopped liver either and improves his standings. PK was 100% tonight on 3 chances. The two penalties taken by Artem Zub were directly responsible for the PP goals the Oilers scored. The Senators were hitting machines nearly double the Oilers (27 to 14) but, in the end, the boys won, Hyman got a hattie, Connor got a point, Bouch got 3, Nuge got 1, wish Drai could have gotten a goal to extend his streak but he'll probably just come back and get a hattie of his own next game (one never knows with him). Take care all.
It was an early Sunday morning in Germany to support my team again, live report starts at 4:00am 😮. It was a little German game because of Drai and Stuetzle so a must have for me. From my point of view it was a boring game, because the one team (oilers) we're not able to bring the puck in the goal, the other team (senators) were only thinking about to destroy oilers passing. On the other hand both goalies were in a good form, stopping each try of the teams. Then the man Hyman starts his journey to win this game. His instinct in front of the goal is phenomenal. Always with his stick where it should be to put the puck into the net, simply great his Hattrick! Oilers shot 45 times at the goal and made not more than 3 goals. That's the story of this game, for me a terrible quote. That showed what have to be trained, scoring, not only shooting! I am happy to see Skinners growing, better glove action makes better percentage, great job. Really pray for Edmonton's travel in a better time zone for me in Europe, if the playoffs will begin 😂😊. Go oilers the journey will begin now to reach the playoffs Wildcard place! Cheers from a tired fan in Germany 🎉
Like every coach will say, you take care of your business and focus on your game that’s how you become a winner! If they continue perfect the system the coaching staff implemented and clean up the 4th line D play they will continue to be a factor! Not sure why Skinner is playing the puck like he’s another D man, it’s going to cost us again like last year’s playoffs! Man I wouldn’t play poker with Mr. Holland he never shows his hand imagine the pressure to move players after that incredible shitty start, but they really need bring in that one player though who settle that defensive play down! I don’t think there’s a big goalie trade available as there’s way too much competition in the league for that guy, it’s just getting a decent back up?

What a game !
Last year RNH had a career year…this year Hyman is!
Kane looked awesome, skinner needs to stop playing the puck my god is he brutal at it!
Hard fought game. Great win by the boys. I wonder if Marc-Andre Fleury has anything left in the tank for a playoff push. Campbell, Broberg for Fleury. Right now the wild are out of a playoff spot.
Looks to me like skinner is making a statement…saying 'I AM a number #1 goalie!'….im SICK of all the negative shit said about me!!!'
They needed to improve their PP stats so the 2 were nice, although ya, that first one should have been on the earlier hook instead of what was actually called…. I'm just used to seeing Connor do that to keep defenders sticks off of him so didn't think much of it.
Good win . Hyman staying hot. Nashville has 4 games in hand and only 4 points ahead.
Travelled from Perth Australia 🇦🇺 for tonight’s game, you guys have an epic arena in Edmonton, awesome experience, go oilers!!
The Oilers jump from the 2nd last to the 2nd wild card spot in the West within 2 months. Not many of us knew this could happen so quick.
Why don't the NHL don't select Hyman to attend the all star?
Hi i think you find other way to turned off the camera by end of the video

LET'S GO OILERS !!!
