McDavid post game on the lightning
“They got a great system. They’re perfectly coached. They all know what they’re doing all over the ice. It’s impressive. They are a great team.”
“They’re extremely well coached they’re extremely well organized. They’re very very rehearsed in everything that they do. It’s very impressive and when you do break them down, they got a heck of a goalie to back stop them.”
I Asked him how they can get to that place with their system.
“That’s a coaching question you can ask Knobber that question. Obviously we’ve been play together a long time and we feel like we’re somewhat rehearsed and organized, but not to their level.”
@Kgill39 It isn't rocket science. Savoie is really good with Roslovic AND Mcdavid... That should be explored... Hyman and Savoie don't have that chemistry together.. And Nuge doesn't drive any plays. He needs to attack the middle or stay 3rd line shutdown with Dickinson
Oilers need to fire Knoblauch tonight if we're gonna even MAKE playoffs... We trade for Dickinson to counter other team's top lines and Knobby isn't even using him for that. Just a mindless coach getting exposed because drai isn't there to make him look good.
Darnell Nurse with the puck management of a Helen Keller rifles one 6 feet high and wide around the boards to give San Jose a breakaway... You can't make this up lol he finds creative ways to be bad...
Good thing Oilers threw Nurse on the ice for overtime where possession is extremely important so that nurse could go out and one handed pass to nobody, turn over possession and lose us the game in dying seconds.
@Kgill39 1rst goal-deflected
2nd gosl - Walman impedes his movement across
3rd goal - Draisitle missed coverage puck watching as martinook walks in un bothered and wires a pass that comes from behind the net.
Do the oilers have to miss the playoffs before we realize Knoblauch is a shit coach? The only players that did good with Knobby coaching is mcdavid. Probably because they're 2 of the best players in the world, not because of Knoblauch...
I stated multiple times that oilers needed to trade Walman at the deadline before his no trade contract kicks in... Everyone said "Walman will play himself out of it"
.... Clearly you people don't watch games. Could've got OEL who can also shoot the puck, but he also can skate.
@liveoil97@6ErikJohnson I'm an oilers fan and even I'll say Nuge isn't close to kadri... Kadri is a shutdown guy that can beat a dman and take a puck to the net. Nuge touches the puck here and there for mcdavid. Big difference. Kadri also wins more faceoffs and hits.
Oilers fans are gonna call me crazy but for some reason, I feel like Mangiapane is gonna do really well with Chicago... They're gonna play him with decent linemates and he's gonna finish the season with around 25 points.
@itsWozzz I'm hoping for a Nurse trade. But the options are limited. I think the only D for D you could do are: Erik Karlsson and Morgan Rielly. You'd probably have to throw in a Samanski to get Rielly without any retention on Nurse but if the option is there, they gotta take it now.
I like the player the Oilers are acquiring in Jason Dickinson, but I'm not a fan of the deal as a whole.
Unless it's a top prospect, sending a first-round pick is wild. I guess that's the sweetener to take Mangiapane and have Chicago retain salary on Dickinson.
@mathewjdp The main reason why I don't think Nurse will be moved this week is that his wife just had a baby a few days ago. He is not going to uproot his family with a week old baby and he is not going to go somewhere alone with family for the rest of the season.
