What this means is Stone will be in the lineup for the important games and out of the lineup between the trade deadline and start of playoffs every year so Vegas can get cap space to add again.
It is embarrassing how many US singers don’t know the words to O’Canada. Teams should be embarrassed trotting out people who don’t respect the country enough to learn the words. What a joke. Twice in a week.
People mad that the Oilers scored on the power play and it was their only goal.
Well they went 1/1 and the Kings have yet to score on the power play in the series (0/11). So keep bitching to fit your narrative. Goals are impressive however they come.
#LetsGoOilers
Kane gets crosschecked in the face. Skinner gets his leg taken out. Both right in front of the refs.
Neither were called. Make it more obvious.
#LetsGoOilers
Penalty or not, there was no hand up on the play. Refs are just making shit up again as they go. Nothing on Ekblad literally choking Bouchard out far away from the scrum.
#LetsGoOilers
Only 3 teams have fewer than 20 losses this season (regulation + overtime/SO)
Edmonton Oilers - 19
Florida Panthers - 19
New York Rangers - 19
Let’s remember Oilers had 10 losses in their first 12 games too.
#LetsGoOilers
7 penalties in a row is absolutely ridiculous.
Some things that you won’t ever see:
- Oilers get this many power plays in a row
- Oilers even get this many power plays at all
- The other team not get power plays while the Oilers are winning
Great league.
#LetsGoOilers
Not so crazy idea. Swap Broberg with Bouchard for 1 game and see how it goes. Play with Ekholm all game, 20+ minutes, and power play.
See if the lack of awareness leading to goals is cut down and also see if Bouchard is actually replaceable in his offensive role.
#LetsGoOilers
There are only 2 teams in the NHL with fewer losses than the Oilers (regulation & overtime/shootout combined) with 16.
- Jets (14)
- Canucks (15)
#LetsGoOilers
It’s actually so embarrassing this reffing is allowed to occur. McDavid gets a tap called a slash, but he’s brought down through holds and grabs the entire shift and nothing.
Can’t give EDM too many PPs I guess.
#LetsGoOilers
Love how Broberg isn’t going to be moved for a rental. Really want him on the team next season. He’s ready and he will be solid. He is only a 22-year-old defenceman.
#LetsGoOilers
Erne is playing like he really doesn’t want to be a scratch again. This is what the Oilers need, inner competition to make the depth play better.
#LetsGoOilers
Horrible call on Hyman. Classic case of every right to that ice as the other player. Just so happens Hanifin fell. Refs just can’t get that right and it’s sad.
#LetsGoOilers
You’d think Holloway would’ve earned a spot on the second line over Janmark by now.
Funny thing is he has earned it, but apparently not in the coaches’ eyes.
#LetsGoOilers
Janmark gets an unsportsmanlike conduct because the ref is a complete loser.
Watches Janmark do nothing but get crosschecked and punched by Ducks players and when there’s a question why he’s not calling a penalty, the ref acts like he’s above Janmark.
#LetsGoOilers
Jack Edwards is the worst play-by-play in league history. I can’t stand listening to him and it ruins Bruins games. Unfortunate since they continue to be a very enjoyable team to watch.
#NHLBruins
I guess only Oilers are able to get tripping calls since Evander Kane got tripped on his first shift and no call.
Still really limiting this Oilers PP. Refs just crippling Oilers so far with that.
#LetsGoOilers
The
#NHL
since the playoffs started:
- CHI (of all teams) gets the next generational player.
- Scheduling is a joke.
- Refs can’t call a game.
- Player Safety doesn’t protect players.
- League/Refs can’t be called out or there’s a fine (pre-playoffs).*
What am I missing?
Knoblauch has this under control if we see Nuge - McDavid - Hyman top line, McLeod - Draisaitl - Foegele second line, and Erne in over Brown tomorrow.
#LetsGoOilers
I know this is very unlikely to happen, but Jordan Eberle back with the Oilers would be amazing.
After his only playoff appearance with the Oilers that got him traded, he has be stellar and appeared in the playoffs in 4 of the last 5 seasons.
#LetsGoOilers
#SeaKraken
Henrique has played in the playoffs 3 times in 14 years, each coming in the first year with each new team. I think he wants more opportunities to win and the Oilers are the perfect place to give him that. Discount coming hopefully.
#LetsGoOilers
Would you look at that. A very reviewable thing (over the glass penalty) isn’t reviewed and they get it wrong.
#NHL
continues to impress with just stupid rules and poor refs.
#LetsGoOilers
With that win, the Oilers pass NSH and CHI in the standings and are tied with MIN, CGY, and SEA with 5 wins. Those last 3 teams are only ahead because of the loser point. Small steps for the Oilers.
#LetsGoOilers
#Oilers
power play through 2 games - 2/4.
#Kings
power plays through 2 games - 2/10.
Imagine if it was called evenly, not based on who is winning or who has the all-time best power play.
Oilers aren’t being cute tonight. Every puck is going to the net and it’s working. Who would’ve thought pucks and bodies to the net worked?
#LetsGoOilers
There is absolutely zero reason to give Campbell another shot over Rodrigue. I don’t care what age either of them are or how much they make. The Oilers are here to win.
#LetsGoOilers
#Oilers
prospect Olivier Rodrigue (62nd overall, 2018) has a 9-5-2 record with a 2.30 goals against average and a .923 save percentage in his last 17 AHL games with the Bakersfield Condors.
#LetsGoOilers
Would be just typical to have 2 goals called off in this game for the Oilers.
That’s not goalie interference. Binnington moved his leg himself and opened the 5-hole.
#LetsGoOilers
I’m about done with Desharnais. Broberg deserves to play more and that’s 2 giveaways that lead right to goals already by Desharnais. He’s too clunky.
#LetsGoOilers
Completely pathetic why Hyman being dragged down with an empty net wasn’t a call. Absolute blind idiots there and there’s no excuse on that.
#LetsGoOilers
This is pathetic if true. What are the Ducks doing? Over $16.5 million in cap space and back-to-back 23 goals, 60+ points as the number one centre on a horrible team.
#FlyTogether
So glad I pay for Sportsnet for it to go to commercial in the middle of the Oilers having pressure in the offensive zone with McDavid on the ice. Pathetic.
#LetsGoOilers
Refs are just choosing what to call and not, or are just so incompetent.
Hyman just got highway sticked right in the play. What are they watching if not where the puck is?
#LetsGoOilers
This could backfire, but I wanted the Kings more than the Golden Knights.
At least the Kings don’t have any miracle captains coming back for the start of playoffs and didn’t load up with free cap space at the deadline.
#LetsGoOilers
Stuart Skinner costs $709 per save, the lowest cost among all goaltenders this season.
#LetsGoOilers
I’m comparison, Campbell costs $6313 per save, 67th in the league out of 79.
Vegas trying to rough up
#LetsGoOilers
is funny. Do they not see who’s been out there in the final minutes? Kostin, Kane, Bjugstad, Nurse. They’re doing nothing.
You think it was a good idea to dress Holloway? He has officially arrived as a full time member of this team and that’s not changing now.
