Hamonic hasn't been the issue.

Sometimes you just gotta give credit. #97 is a beast. The rest of the Oil have done squat.

 

Yeah but Hughes got caught puck watching there. He didn't even notice McD till it was too late.

[Odd.]

They need to use Hoglander more on the powerplay instead of those weak cross ice passes. Our power play is so predictable.

Jesus can y'all stop this one time pass to Boeser

Christ he is the only one shooting if we don't pass it him we are just going to waste the power play passing 

[Sedintwinpowersactivate]

This just in.

McDavid is a good player of the game of hockey.

[Canucklehead53]

Oilers with the best pk in the league 

[Coconuts]

Improved team from last year, same mediocre coaching assistants in Brown and Baumer 

[Beary Sweet]

This game is getting intense now

[TNucks1]

Firing Newell Brown should have been like the Seahawks firing Brian Schottenheimer. Need a fresh approach.

Do you honestly believe ebery team in the league doesn't try that?  Why in the world didn't Green think about that?  It's so crazy it just might work

Works pretty good when teams do it. It happens a surprisingly little amount. You'd be surprised. I watch 40+ Oiler games every season. When he goes through his slumps it's usually because teams are deploying this strategy. Good defensive players like Toews, Kesler, etc. really get to him this way.

Mcdavid making us look stupid

At what point are we going to go to a different look on the powerplay? 

Well it's not like they haven't been getting chances, and are spending a lot of time in the zone. They gonna get one to start the 3rd. 

Calling it now 5-4 Nucks in OT.

Oiler fans implode.

[canuck2288]

Our powerplay is not even close to their uptempo puck and player movement and rotation 

 

we play static positions and over pass 

[Maginator]

Still a chance to get back in this one.

 

Were not gunna win em all though, folks. Relax. Enjoy the 3rd.

I think we should ease off on the PP gilling a bit. Its not scoring, but I see new ideas there, and clearly they have been working on it in practice. Petey has a new fake shot slap pass that looks like it could work. And if he does that, then they never know if he's gonna pass or shoot. Looks like Huggy is working on that shot from the point too. No, we haven't scored, but I like seeing this new look. It will work once ironed out.

"Offensive player". He is a defensive liability....bottom 1% of the league.

[Petey40]

Man a power play goal right at the start of the third would make me sooooo happy

There isnt a dman on earth that can stop 97.
