Not a bad period.  The shots on goal are a little misleading; we had a few grade A opportunities.

Whats up with Wheeler? He looks so slow and cant keep up with 55 and 29. 

Tied after 2, I’ll take that.

 

no score after two,  someone's doing something right but it probably also helps that Little is back in the lineup

we have a goal here people! and it's from Dahlstrom

 

stupid refs take that away from him

When was the last time you heard someone say that they went to a Jets Oilers game and a defensive struggle broke out?

and regulation solves nothing, but a point is a point

But what about Wheeler?

and game over, thanks Laine did we ever need this!!!!

Solid D effort vs a likely overated Oilers team who are playing well. Why can't we play like this every game. 

Also Wheeler needs to be off PP1.. Dude passes to nobody. 

 

Congrats, Coach!

 

That was one heckava game to watch, it just flew by. Helle played like we need him to play, Laine has really stepped up his game, Wheeler was back and forth brilliant to horrible the whole game and Tucker Poolman I'm sorry to say is one hot mess.

Double post dum dum

Doesn't matter who coaches the Oilers during the McDavid era, the formula is to play him as much as humanly possible. He was so gassed at the end he could hardly take his shootout turn. If they keep this up they risk burning him out and or injury.

He had slightly less time on the ice than Scheifele.  

Really, wow thanks seemed like more. He looked really gassed. Maybe he wasn't feeling well. I"m guessing he's close to the league leading in average shift time. I'm pretty sure he was last year. He is the best hockey player in the world but leeping that pace over 82 games is pushing it imo.
