  1. Actually ever since he had to stop playing Horvat hasn't had that same bite either (turned more into a safer 2 way guy). You might be into something.
  2. Bo should have carried that puck in and bought time for his line mates to change rather than dumping it in with absolutely zero pressure.
  3. He played the same way Demko played. Hey look who people thought we should have gotten rid of.
  4. Ah yeah. Actually me neither. His playmaking is actually much sharper than I thought it'd be this early. Thought he'd have to adjust to a smaller rink a little bit too.
  5. I've watched every Oilers game this year also, trust me, it's not just the Canucks. They're getting called in 80% of these games. The reffing in general is absolute dog$&!#. I think it was on the Oilers game (could have been Canucks) where commentary had a line of, "Do you think they're calling the ticky tacky stuff at the earlier season to lead them up to playing properly by the time the playoffs hit?". It's a dumb idea but refs have mentioned dumber things.
  6. He's actually still under my expectations (he's on trajectory to meet mine). The kid still hasn't shown us his hands yet. He has an unreal skillset to be individualistic and I think once we see him feel more confident with his status as a permanent nhl'er I think we will see his true ceiling. This kid has even more to offer than what we've seen. When we drafted him I was sooooo pumped. However when we drafted him one of the biggest issues was his game was over handling it, and he's obviously grown as a player and dishes it out quicker but I think once he figures out the balance of playmaking VS creating his own ice we will see another animal. This is just the beginning.
  7. Hoglander is basically Kailer Yamamoto for us. Both are small tenacious players with amazing hustle and skill.
  8. Honestly how is Roussel still in the nhl. He hasn't been effective since he stopped being a role player despite being in the line up as a role player which was years ago.
  9. Our defense is pinching a lot this game. They're giving zero credit to Ottawa (and I like it that way).
