Posted May 21, 20214 yr comment_505105 Time : Friday 8, CBC Series : Jets 1-0 Oilers Edited May 21, 20214 yr by FrostyWinnipeg
May 21, 20214 yr comment_505108 Ehlers was still in a non contact jersey yesterday, but PLD was back in a regular jersey, so maybe he’s back tonight. Unfortunately, that probably means Vesalainen sits. I thought he looked good in game one.
May 21, 20214 yr comment_505111 Vesaleinen shows flashes for brief moments given his size, but we need more from a second liner than one wrist shot chance a game. Not sure what will get him going to that next level. Leaves me often wondering why the hype around him?

The kid barely played this year, then was thrown out with players that he was not familiar with. Certainly looked the part but needs to shoot more.
May 21, 20214 yr comment_505117 He’s been with the organization for 4 seasons now and has not shown any consistent growth to me in that time.

If u are drafted as an offensive player, u should be playing <2 years. Now our only hope is that maybe he's a delayed development like Poolparty. That guy should have spent an extra year in Finland learning English. He's a great guy now for Oilers. Blasted Oilers!

Certainly looked the part but needs to shoot more. Exactly. He needs some consistent ice time with the Jets and not have to worry that if he doesn’t play perfectly, he’s back to the press box. I’m not saying he’s going to turn into a legit NHL player, but he needs a real chance. And he did more than get one wrist shot in that game.

Holy geez, the guy hasn't even hit 20 goals in a season. He was the 4th overall pick. "Great" is a relative term here.
May 21, 20214 yr comment_505143 Murat Ates @WPGMurat · 1m Paul Maurice says Ehlers looks like he wants to play. Has been in controlled contact and ditched the non-contact jersey today. Playoff mind games but man, it sure seems like he might

May 21, 20214 yr comment_505155 it looked like wheeler is still suffering with his rib injury, hope that he doesnt get blasted tonight.
May 21, 20214 yr comment_505156 I thought Wheeler looked fine and when he "out ran" the defender on the empty net goal, it was a surprising amount of speed/effort for a guy his age...
May 22, 20214 yr comment_505164 I hope we don't have an incident similar to what happened in last night's MTL vs TOR game
May 22, 20214 yr comment_505165 So saw a stat that Draisaitl averages 1.25 points in a game after he is held scoreless, and McDavid averages 1.57. Don’t know about anyone else, but if we hold them to 3 points combined tonight I would happily take that. Would likely mean only 2 goals against.
May 22, 20214 yr comment_505171 Classic refs looking to even things up, only giving Perreault a penalty, in that fracas with Yamamoto. Ridiculous.
May 22, 20214 yr comment_505172 Omg CBC commentators saying Oilers aren’t getting the penalty calls. Puleeessse. Why don’t they just start chanting we want McDavid Matthews series.

Why don’t they just start chanting we want McDavid Matthews series. Yeah I was thinking about that too. Did they run out of ideas to talk about. I will the fact that the Jets came out flying and took it Edmonton and outshot them. All they complain about is the lack of penalties
May 22, 20214 yr comment_505174 I didn't think it was possible but the recording of obnoxious fans are more obnoxious than the actual fans
