  3. Man, what can I say? Waking up at 4:00 AM in Eastern Europe to watch this… 😅 It is what it is. Nobody put a gun to our heads to be Oilers fans. We chose this freely, so we’ve got to eat this mess. True dedication, my friend! for 20 years already……..Ride or die—Oilers forever!

  4. Game 21. Long post follows with base game statistics including some for the Minnesota Wild. Read, don't read, up to you. These are BASE stats not detailed ones (bit expanded). My comments and observations at the end.

    Surgery still postponed so here are some stats. Again, I can't watch the games. What follows is my opinion.

    So the first goal 27 seconds in to the game was a weird one by Draisaitl. Draisaitl shot it from his own blue line and it took a funny hop off of 2 sticks and in. It's times like that I can see a Goalie looking up and asking God if he owes him money or something.

    This was a situation where Edmonton had issues clearing and eventually Minnesota got it in. The mismatch in blocks tells me there needs to be another round of posterior whoopin' to get it into the heads of ALL players that a stick can block a shot so get them in the lanes and help your goalie out.

    Ekholm with 5 giveaways and Bouch with 4 were mostly due to dump and chase but still it's a lot. Oilers had more shots (which is pretty normal now), won quite a few more faceoffs, fewer penalty minutes, fewer hits, half the blocked shots, more giveaways, 1 less takeaway and the Wild are not known as a high scoring team yet they got 5 and the Oilers only got 3. I know we don't tend to do well against them but still it's like some things were half hearted. They also finally lost a game that had a fight.

    Take care all.

  5. great that the refs took back that Minn goal… and that Drai bounced one in off the boards & a skate asa free one at the beginning and scored one in final 20 seconds… otherwise was basically a 6-1 loss – which is not very competitive. Jackson did not improve the team much
