Its taken the Oilers 15 games but it looks like they’re playing for real now.

Vancouver looks like a pretty good team, too.

Game wasn’t perfect but it’s nice to see the basics of the team coming together. The PP is starting to work. That’s a relief.

Wow. 7 Goals. Well done boys! Hopefully this starts the offence rolling. Pk goal against again a downer. Kill % keeps on dropping. This needs to be fixed. Big division win! Keeps us in the mix.

SKOilerFan

Not sure why Darnel batted that right into the slot.
Otherwise a quiet in a good way game

hunter1909

Happy as anything with this current lineup.

KnightRain

Thanks, Bouch! We could use some free pk practice, buddy.
Always team first, that Bouch…

KnightRain

See? Now we have the tape to figure out how to do it better next time.
Good stuff. But, for reals, let’s get a bit better on the pk, ok?

hunter1909

I was right about Emberson.

You notice him in a good way.

Elgin R

Let’s go Oiles chant just now was as loud as in Edmonton. Amazing

KnightRain

Love how the default of the smart old third line is to get the puck behind the net and battle. Scrum it up. Win a puck battle and look for a play.

OriginalPouzar

One of the most heartening part of this game is the Oilers continuing to come in waves after the got the 6th and 7th….

hunter1909

Tuned in at 6-2 1st game this year.

49 made a cool play to stop the Canuck breakaway.

90 Perry looks great. Positionally also passes the puck like a boss. I hope he retires an Oiler with a cup win.

Drai and Mcd get paid too much to be engaged with after finals but Draisaitl I think scored the 1st goal earlier.

Nurse? lol his contract can get him traded in 3-4 more seasons.

Oilers as a team play like they have been in the finals. next stop cup and Oilers with their superstars have about 10 years to do it once?

Come on.

GB&Q

Now we gotta get Podz a goal

SKOilerFan

Finally a non vezina like performance from the opposition G.
Liked knobby’s TO call early. Underutilized

OriginalPouzar

He was trying until it was 5-2 – a couple 10-bell saves – then he leaked two terrible ones.

OriginalPouzar

Strong lateral movement there from Skinner….

Elgin R

Really loud ‘Stuuuuuu’ chant in Rodger’s after that save. Wow lots of Oiler fans here.

LMHF#1

Vik has finally found his wheels. I’m assuming this is the guy people are happy we signed? I wasn’t really getting it.

Always been a fan of Kulak, one of our best value for money signings. However, I never expected that at this point in the season he would be tied second highest goal scorer.

theDjdj

Connor Brown has looked utterly dangerous this game. Could be a key for the Oilers finding more offense

tapper

Imagine if he (and a couple other vets) started to use the upper half of the net.

hunter1909

Wasn’t he snakebit last season?

theDjdj

I think he just took a lot longer to recover from his injury and time off. He was a key performer for us in the playoffs in my opinion.

OriginalPouzar

3 assists for Janny tonight.

How’s that taste, VanCity?

theDjdj

Is this this year’s version of us beating the Sharks to awaken our final form?

KnightRain

BOOM!!! Brownie!!! Great drive and shot, buddy!!!
We are an attacking team!!!

OriginalPouzar

Lankinen had played well it was a 5-2 game – two awful goals to turn it in to a laugher.

DevilsLettuce

3 points for JanGenerationalmark

Diablo

Lankinen is getting lit up like a Christmas tree.

Boil-in-the-Oil

That PP goal… Connor smiled. I did too. When Connor smiles, it’s good news… something has changed.

OriginalPouzar

Great neural zone strip by Wright who then sets up Berglund in the very high slot who rips one home for a 3-1 lead.

LMHF#1

Also – there should be nothing exceptional about this effort.

They can play this way every game. It is still far from perfect but beats just about everybody just about all of the time.

Derek

They have played this way 75 percent of the season.

The talking heads can spin a story. They can build pretty narratives, write a tale or two. Tonight a bunch of shots that should go in, have gone in, and maybe a couple that shouldn’t. Every other night the opposing team had Prime Hasek in net while edm had a suitor tutor in net on the PK.

Variance is a bitch.

Derek

Shooter tutor*

LMHF#1

Not even close.

There is a fundamental difference between people viewing hockey where goals are primarily on execution and shot choice, versus people who don’t see it this way.

This team hasn’t been focused and executing whatever. Tonight they are. And they’re getting to the middle. This game is nothing like the Vegas game, or the Jersey game, or a handful of others.

KnightRain

BOOM!!! Kulak gets rewarded for following the play!!! Finally!!!

DevilsLettuce

3 points for McGenerational

theDjdj

How much is Kulak paying to win the Norris?

theDjdj

Nuge still looks a half-step behind at moments but his offensive awareness and deft passing skills have been on full display tonight.

fishman

OK now this is fun! Kulak with his 4 th of the year!

Gerta Rauss

We want 10!

LMHF#1

Oof Lankinen…

Diablo

Total domination by Connor McDavid.

SKOilerFan

3 PPs! Hallelujah!
And a few bounces around the net

KnightRain

BOOM!!! Connor goes to the net for a greasy one!!!! Taking notes from the bottom six, eh?

DevilsLettuce

Mcdavid has been exceptional

SKOilerFan

He’s had a good third. Average before that

Diablo

The PP has finally woken up.

fishman

Eat shit Canucks!

LMHF#1

That’s better.

fishman

I think that was Henriques first assist of the year.

KnightRain

Great work and skating by Arvi to draw that penalty. Hes coming on, now.

Funny Bissonness

Big time effort from Henrique to eat that crosscheck in the slot and get the puck to Brown for the primary.

OriginalPouzar

Great drive by Arvy to draw a PP.

theDjdj

bottom two lines have been absolutely hustling tonight

KnightRain

BOOM!!! Brownie rewarded for the whole third line working they’re asses off!!!

DevilsLettuce

Janmark with his fingerprints all over that shift

Sure would be nice for this third line to get a 5 on 5 goal.

and an insurance one at that….

Derek

Eat shit Seaweed
