Two elite passes in the 1st 29 seconds by Drai, the 2nd setting up a goal. Sure wish his feet moved faster

Lazy player - did you see how he slowed down on his way to the bench?

I laughed twice. I couldn't imagine how much people would hate Tage Thompson here.

How about Mario? Guy just floated around the ice most of the time and took stick penalties. Pretty pissy too if iirc

You can't deny that Leon looks like he's skating in mud though. He was decently fast in the past, but he's glacial most of the time now.

Mario too - scored a bunch of points and dominated in big games - but never moved his feet enough for me.

That was some of the most beautiful passes resulting in a goal ever and a goal in the first 29 seconds not against ! Double win!

Man Desharnais gets turned around a lot in his end.
Often half a pivot away from where he needs to be.
Possibly his biggest downfall.

Despite their shoddy defensive zone play the Oilers offense is looking good, today.

Gene showing Brown working on his edge work. What a relief.
Maybe next week someone will show him how to bodycheck.

Connor Brown is a compelling story.
Not sure why he's working on edgework... he can skate just fine. Positionally he's fine as well. He needs to work on his acceleration as he has no boost to take advantage of holes in the D.

Scoring in the NHL is hard. Many players go through prolonged slumps. Agitating doesn’t require much skill. Running a goalie doesn’t take much skill. Laying a good body check requires good timing, but achievable every game. But he is SO CONTENT to just put in his shifts, collecting his cheques and hope something good happens. I know it sounds harsh, but he should be ashamed. Show some frigging pride dude. Show the world you have a conscience.
Sam is up there eating popcorn and always seems to produce on limited opportunity. And in the past when Sam struggled, he would drop the flippers. Not Connor Brown though.
I’m hoping Comfy Connor gets his dumb goal today and then they sit him the rest of the season.

It's amazing how The Oilers turn an easy win game into a slobberknocker? For some reason they play down to inferior competition?

Realistically, the Oilers are not a great defensive team. I know the stats might suggest otherwise, but the eye test suggests that they leak chances all game.
3rd period pressure on Leon's line... my god, can Leon just skate a little? Everyone else is trying to play good defensive hockey, but they have to make up for Leon who reaches and reaches and then just skates to the boards and just watches the play unfold.
Four posts for the Sabres in this game. The Oil are leaking chances.
McDavid can't finish anymore. A breakaway for that guy should be automatic, but he's finishing with Marchant-like frequency.
I wish I had more reasons to be optimistic about the Oilers. I really do. They just don't look like they are a well-oiled machine.

Nice goddamned giveaway by McDavid. Takes the puck away at the blue and throws a blind pass to no one and sure enough Buffalo gets it and some rando scores.
BRUTAL.

I’m not beating him up for that. He was well positioned. Scooped up a loose puck and tried to clear it unsuccessfully.

That's primarily on McDavid though. Gruesome, needless giveaway.

I was expecting the Oilers to come out in this one and totally assert themselves in this game, and for the second game in a row a pretty bad squad is exposing them.
How is this acceptable? They should be crushing Buffalo, and look like chumps right now instead.

Notorious for playing down.
Finding the acceptable amount of effort. No more.

McDavid tries to fly the zone and leaves the puck behind him... and Thompson gets an unreal chance from it.
We need more from everyone on this squad, McDavid included.

Oilers have had almost none of the possession in OT.
Soooooo slowwwww.... teams skate circles around them.
Enough with the cute passes, JFC. Just take a damn shot.

McDavid and Bouchard both had golden opportunities to tee up in OT, but opt for the pass.
Highlight goals are crucial.
