Jokiharju is very impressive. 19 years old? Wow. He generally is in the right place and has high skill ability. He's a legit Calder Trophy candidate.

I’d like to see him shoot from the point a little less with no Hawk at - or going to - the net.

Play- and possession-killer.

That would be nice, but he'd almost never shoot! But really, I'm guessing that the coaches tell him to make sure he doesn't get jumped at the blue line. Don't mess around, get it deep or on net. Once he's fully acclimated I think you're absolutely right and that might happen more.

Nice to see Gus, AA and Kane all hustling back...we didn't see that enough last year.

Joki shutting down CM, I love seeing that.

I just don't understand when Gusto enters the zone not one forward recognizes this 2 on 1 the other way

We have a LOT of suspect parts, aging vets and I think are just not an overall really good team, but he has impressed the hell out of me.

I was a doubter, he's shut my mouth.

Through 2 periods, Schmaltz has as many takeaways as Edm

Arty-0
Bouncing puck-1

Yea. I was ambivalent on his prospects at first and it's early, but he looks the part. I want to see Murphy and Gus up here, because overall this defensive core is well below average. Are C.M. and Gus the panacea? I don't know, but they are both very young with quality NHL experience, I am holding out some hope with them.

Honestly i would just go with Arty, Kane Saad Joki and Cat on the first power play

Schmaltz, Toews, Kane, Keith really don't look to shoot on the power play so all you have to do is defend Seabrook, pretty pathetic

Manning playing the body on the boards...took Saad out of the play...which team is he on!!!

22 and 23 together, scares me

I am still saying it is a waste to have McDavid on such a bad team. It does absolutely nothing for the league. Edmonton will not ever win anything with this team.

The dumb thing with the Hawks PP is keeping Kane and Toews separate. Don't like these two units right now.

Good lord, another great play by Henri against McDavid + another guy.

Hard for the the Oilers to build a good team drafting so low every year.

That "another guy," I never cared for him. Hahaha.

Ot. 1-1. An exciting game in spurts. Defensively sound.

I think we are on the same page

Great play by Kane to Gustaffson, good save by Cam. OT hockey. Just what I want more of after my kids team lost a 2OT game today in a tournament.

Playing for the tie, 3 on 3 vs McDavid, crap, so do we see Henri starting ot

CM. Nice collapse and turnover. Edm, at least we get a point.

Way to go Saad......Brutal play, NO HANDS at all.
