Edmonton Oiler thoughts prior to game | Patio boatman

Seeing the former teammates Walking is fun when he is not against his team.

I wanted Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway staying in Edmonton. I didn’t like them when they signed those supply sheets and Stan Bowman did not match. Although I completely understand that they want a change of stage, leaving a team that has the best hockey player on planet Earth still has consequences. What extra movement of Connor McDavid to establish the other Connor, Brown for his first goal in a month and a half, which was also his first OT race winner.

How about a little love for both Skinners? Stuart recovered with some key salvages after playing a failure against the Maple Leafs that set fire to Oilers Twitter. He must have read some of those tweets before last night, but he was also lucky that Robert Thomas could not bury his possibilities. Even when his team was surpassing the blues and only faced 2 or 3 shots, they were not the easiest salvations. It could have been one of the first murderers of mood if I let one of those first shots outside. He even made a Poke’s check, he has definitely been reading my articles. And Jeff was a triumph reduction machine. To most Oilers fans, including myself, I don’t like the handling of the coaching staff of their minutes. After the last two games, he is being a professional and not letting his game get worse. It is not what Edmonton signed him to do, but perhaps this change in how he begins to play eventually lead to something redeeming when the time of the playoffs arrives.

Last night it was also a good way for Darnell to celebrate moving at age 30. Happy birthday, Darnell. With Vegas losing in regulation while our game continued, now we are first in our division by 2 points. Let’s make a 4 -point cushion tonight. The keys to the game are …

Put it: This key corresponds to how the score will be seen after the second period. Edmonton had opportunities in St. Louis to extend his leadership in the power game, but seemed too indifferent in his latest opportunities. Then, the blues were done beyond the third period and the advantage until Leon Draisaitl saved his late team (and that tie goal told). If the opportunities are presented, you must take advantage of a spectacle of the murderous instinct.

Is Near: Since the Oilers visited Chicago for the last time on January 11, Blackhawks have 7 more losses in their last 9 games. However, 4 of them have been 1 goal game and 3 of them were decided in extra time or a shooting. His 2 lonely victories were against the golden knights and the lightning in the regulation. Since the season is ended realistically for the reconstruction team, they are still learning how to keep the games tight and even when they lose.

Calling the backup: Of course, Calvin Pickard begins in the second half of a consecutive. His record against Chicago is 4-5, but he has retired in 2 of those games. Its .906 saving percentage within that record is quite decent despite having more losses than victories. Porea became a hotter button theme than ever during the weekend. With Skinner bouncing, it would be good for Pickard to keep the solid streak that has been happening as its support. He only has 1 defeat in his last 10 openings.
