45+ yr detroit lions fan! When MCDC talked kneecaps & week later said he did large win affect analytucs in Summer, I smiled & thought of Dad! He passed away Apr 2, Alzheimer’s clininic in chilliwack. (2000 sq ft house 1.6M) WTF! My 20 yr old son (High func Aut) did 1st yr carpenrtry. then approached by boilermakers. But Fed Pgm $ redirected 2 Corp. highering Foriegn workers. But was asked 2 apprentice in HVAC. Heat pump Pgm in Maritimes!
Go Oilers!

Good luck to him! Lot of chatter here about heat pumps now too. Getting in at the right time can be a very good opportunity for him.

Spartacus

Bear sighting!

72:39 EV min of Nurse – Dermott is the only oiler EV pr in top 1/3 of (4 x 32 pr). Stetcher has a top 60 Def d history!
was unaware that everything has changed 2 hockey acadameys. Talked to the Drum dragons back-up Goalue 16yr old. I enquired if they were teaching Goalies 2 read the stick position relative 2 their location in the net & tracking. (I had explained the 3=planes of OSH targeting. (clear from WC final Vcr is using it.) 6 top 60 OSH targeting Fwds. He said they had not. But he recognized it. ( explained his thought) Correlates with Acadamey teaching of blade angles, etc in shooting! Bright young man! his hope is NCAA!

rickithebear

Really failed 2 understanding that not everyone can visualize the same.
My picture memory is largely gone. But Nero testing still has 2 of 3 types of chart and 3rd 90+ percentile but not me! Still poor at articulating ideas. Was in coma from Covid couple yrs ago, wife to.d 2 prep funeral. Came out! As 4 oilers, Top EV Def pairs were drive by Ceci & Desharnais, top PK prs Ekholm in 4, Ceci 3, Desh, 24’ Kulak – Emberson Bott 15, Nurse – Ekholm Bott 3 before tonight.

Lewis Grant

Glad you came out of it!

00’ involved in creating 3D Maint track flagging system at Transalta w/ Gary woods (Maint mgmt Wabamun pwr plants, Now head of Gas & Renewables) & Mike Aubichon ( Maint checklists Bombardier & Boeing 767) Heat mapps of Fixes on boiler tubes was part of it. Mike created MTL minor hockeys Online stat site. 1st moment of hockey stats , analytucs marriage. The Gunville position legs down track with Puck did not appear until change in Facemask tech. Roy & JVB. Mikes son was being trained by Francois Allaire in MTL. Realized his Rep was the Gunville position driving starter avg change from .865 to .915. .050 Huge relative to most of range .030.

Recently talked 2 Ron Gunvilles widow. He had discussed our conversation about his Ron Gunville position. Interesting Pietrangelo disvussed my three target planes 1.Over shoulder 2. Over pads counter limb flex/move, fake sh pause tracking = space between G & Post, pointed out 2 Emmanuelle Perry years ago. My 4 data sets (ZS type) 3D XAvg based off Behind the nets (Team comp, zs) is 16 yrs old!

Good to see you back, been a while. Hope all is well.

Decidedly Skeptical Fan

Ricki!!! Great to see you’re back!

Admiral Ackbar

These past 2 games have been the most exciting of the year. No McDavid, no problem!

Nuge with an amazing pass and Zach with a ridiculous deke for the GWG. I thought Nuge was again quite plain tonight but if the trade off is a primary assist on a GWG, I’ll take it.

Still way too much adventure from Nurse. Thankfully no GAs…

Leon is finding that fine balance of taking offensive chances in the defensive and neutral zones and not giving away dangerous pucks.

Stu was solid. Full stop.

Henrique looks very slow this year.

What a ridiculous goal by Skinner. Lordy, those hands. Get him out there on PP1!!

That Leon line is so good. Reminds me of the Leon-Nuge-Yam line the year McD sat out a bunch of games and Leon won the Hart.

OriginalPouzar

Tomorrow’s game could be tough for a few of the players.

They really only played 2 pairs in the third period, or most of it:

Ek/Bouch
Kulak/Nurse

There was a big gap in 5 on 5 minutes down to Dermott – apx 6 minute gap and another 90 seconds to Emberson

norm2015

time for the stecher tommorow

rich tm

Stetcher seems like an easy decision – get him back in.

Does Ryan come in for Perry given it’s B2B?

OriginalPouzar

I was wondering just that.

I think that Perry has consistently made a positive impact most games – a couple plus plays per game but didn’t see that tonight – a night off likely makes sense as Ryan can come in and play RW.

BornInAGretzkyJersey

a couple plus plays per game but didn’t see that tonight

Perry floated a nice pass while under pressure at the line to Philp for a chance on net.

Emerson dermott could be a pair? if they run nurse kulak as one

Goilers99

Was the final game against Nashville high-octane Leon plus adrenalin, or is this a repeatable game?

fishman

Anyone know where Flames Kevin Bahl came from? Draft, trade, free agent? Seems pretty solid?

GB&Q

Markstrom trade I think

fishman

Thanks!

BornInAGretzkyJersey

ARI drafted him, then sent him to NJD for Hall. That’s when I started to kinda keep tabs on him. Late bloomer, starting to hit his stride by the looks of it.

As mentioned, NJD sent him and Sharangovich to CGY for Markstrom.

meanashell11

So where are the Nurse haters. Great game by 25. Second in a row.

Darryl8843

Agreed.

LMHF#1

Pluses – he roamed effectively.

Minuses – This should be an average game at worst for him, not an exception. He still had defensive wobble and wrecked the powerplay.

OriginalPouzar

He hit the post on the PP

Darryl8843

Don’t let facts ruin a good story 😂

BornInAGretzkyJersey

And Rasmus Andersson, so even though he didn’t score it was still a good shot.

Brogan Rafferty's Uncle Steve

Nurse was on ice for 17 CF and 31 CA. That is brutal.

Brogan Rafferty's Uncle Steve

Huh? The Oilers were absolutely shelled when Nurse was on the ice.

Admiral Ackbar

I’m not sure I’d call it a great game. I don’t hate on the guy but boy is he an adventure. The own-zone giveaways are pretty astounding – sometimes he has relatively-uncontested maneuvers in his own end that end up on the other team’s stick. I counted at least 3 of these tonight. Thankfully none of them ended up in his net.

Brogan Rafferty's Uncle Steve

Yep. He takes so long to pass the puck sometimes. It is inexplicable.

Decidedly Skeptical Fan

Great game? Uhm … no.

Darryl8843

We complain about players all the time. How about the announcers. My goodness Hrudey is beyond brutal.

Admiral Ackbar

Meh, it was the Calgary broadcast team. I think Vancouver’s broadcast team of muppets are far far worse.

LMHF#1

Better than Jack and Louie. That’s not saying much at all, but still…

Brogan Rafferty's Uncle Steve

Huge win.

Still too many passengers.

prefonmich

Skinner with a really strong game. Made a number of key point blank saves

SKOilerFan

With Huberdeau standing in the crease over top of Skinner a goal there shouldn’t have counted anyway according to previous rulings

fishman

I think it’s good we didn’t have to test that theory!!!!

LMHF#1

The goal would have counted and the NHL would have awarded an Oilers 3rd rounder to the Flames.

Diablo

Phew 2-0 without the Captain. Wasn’t pretty but they had some good moments and did just enough for the W.

Diablo

Finally back to .500 W-L

DevilsLettuce

Draisaitl is going to have a 100 points by the time McDavid returns.

LMHF#1

WTF were they doing 5-on-5 at the end? Should have been an easy end to the game and they act like they’re killing.

PP1 got stuck out there tired.

Clarkenstein

Why would you even put a PP out there at that point in the game?

SKOilerFan

29 and 2 with 2 soft giveaways to start the chaos

anderson had a plan until he gets punched in the face

2-0 without Connor!! Last minute was more intense than I would have liked but take the two points!

3 more points for Drai!

OriginalPouzar

Big save and hold (no rebound) by Skinner there.

Oilers had PP1 out there and were not expecting the 5 on 5 – they were tired and not a regular 5 on 5 line – that was a bad situation brewing.

GB&Q

The “C” on the front stands for Cheaters!

fishman

Oh there’s a good break!!!

OriginalPouzar

Coach rolling two pairs now:

Ek/Bouch
Kulak/Nurse

flyfish1168

? When is Brown going to score his 2nd goal?

Kert

Saving himself for the playoffs again.

Diablo

Connor Brown has had some jump tonight.

fishman

Good kill!!!!

Diablo

Dumb penalty.

Diablo

Good kill.

DevilsLettuce

I need 1 more point from you Hyman!

GB&Q

Nuggy with the tasty dish!

Diablo

Zach attack is back. Everything upstairs now.

jp

You won’t see many nicer goals than that.

Draisaitl to Nuge to Hyman. Lovely.

BornInAGretzkyJersey

I thought Ekholm’s play just prior to his pass to Drai that gained zone entry was third assist worthy. Just a heady move to make with little space and less time.

Atta boy Zach!!!!!

Nuge with a beauty little pass.

SKOilerFan

Yikes that was more of a slash to the head

fishman

Be nice if our PP could cash here. Special teams costing us so far this game.

Diablo

Oilers have nothing right now … getting pressured all over the ice.

Brogan Rafferty's Uncle Steve

Saw that coming.

Diablo

Soft goal.

fishman

Two D right there and no one ties up the Flame who tips it in???

What a lucky little saucer pass by Corey Perry

-K. Hrudey

Ancient Oilers Fan

Damn, I heard “what a lovely saucer of by Corey Perry”. Guess I should wear my hearing aids

Fuhr and Lowething in Vegreville

No, you heard lovely because that’s what he said.

I normally abhorr Hrudey because of his tendency to be so anti-Oiler, but have to admit he’s been fairly balanced tonight including his praise on Perry for that pass.

jp

Guess that’s my bad lol.

Fuhr and Lowething in Vegreville

Haha, well, with Hrudey its totally possible.

OriginalPouzar

Nice pass by Perry but HELL OF A pass by Skinner.

flyfish1168

No screen and no one is going to the net, No problem for an NHL goalie.

Lewis Grant

I’m late to the game, but watching that Skinner goal – just look at how he manages to keep his balance on one foot, with his whole body in a crazy position, while being tripped.

A thing of beauty. Elite hands and elite skating.

jp

Arvidsson added to PP1 in place of Nurse.

DevilsLettuce

Skinner in the Draisaitl spot, make Draisaitl the McDavid rover. Return to just Bouch on the back end.

Brogan Rafferty's Uncle Steve

IMO the coach needs to send Bouch out with line two. Nurse + the Nuge line is not working.

Brogan Rafferty's Uncle Steve

The third line looks better tonight. Not really a threat to score but checking hard.

Paulie

Why not try Skinner instead of Nurse on the PP?
