Oilers 2021-22

Thorin · September 26, 2021, 10:04:21 PM

Watched my first Oilers pre-season game tonight. Thought I could watch it on youtube, and got about halfway through when I realized I was watching an old game from a few days before - apparently streaming tonight's game on youtube violated a tv agreement or something. So we watched it through a laptop connected to the tv, with the laptop showing the feed from the Oilers website.

The Oilers no-namers didn't really well, I was excited to watch Evan Bouchard and look forward to seeing him in the regular season. The goalies barely got tested, but I saw Konovalov make one excellent save that showed off his athleticism, which is important because he's several inches shorter than the average NHL goalie (and thus has shorter legs with shorter pads with bigger holes left open).

Anyway, 17 sleeps until the first regular season game! I'm excited, CowGirl's probably twice as excited as me.

I'm excited to see if the Jets and Oil can make a season of it again!

No worries... tough season when your head coach quits saying "Nothing more I can do in this position to help the team", kinda shakes the roots of the org. But the Jets have been in the playoffs many times these last years, so at least the stress will be less for me watching the playoffs!

But I'm excited for my #2 team to be going to the playoffs again. Go OILERS Go!

Tkachuk is going to target the Oilers' stars for "accidental" injuries, just like LA's Kaliyev targeted Draisaitl (now appears to be playing through an injury) and McDavid.

Meanwhile Kassian will give the stink-eye and land booming hits on Calgary's middle-six players, as he won't be put out against Calgary's stars very often.

We'll probably see less skilled plays than we did in the first round, which sucks. I'd rather see high-end skill than run-their-stars hockey.

I haven't payed attention to hockey at all this year. And I hear they're doing ok. funny that.

Mr. Analog · May 18, 2022, 10:50:28 PM

Well that was one way to start a series!

Melbosa · May 19, 2022, 10:59:08 AM

Bang bang bang!!!!

I saw both good defense and bad defense during that game, from both teams, at different times. Nice to see Markstrom look like a sieve, he's been consistently good all year and I was worried they wouldn't be able to score on him.

As Woodcroft said in his post-game availability, the Oilers scored six goals, that should've been enough to win that game. I'm sure they're going to review wtf went on.
