I’ll only guarantee you the win if you give us Toffoli and Muzzin for Lucic, Puljujarvi, Bear and a 2020 1st.
- Wildschwein

I’ll pass, can’t take Lucic back with that contract. I’ll wait to see what comes of those two. Hopefully two 1sts plus more obviously. Different trades of course

Good for Gambardella for that response to the McDavid hit

Good on Kassian for that headlock from behind on "The female dog".

Might be a fun 3rd period....could see a fight happening

I wish Kassian could find consistency, he looks like the draft pick he was supposed to become sometimes, and other times he looks like an unskilled sean william scott in Goon

The defining factor of whether he's "going" or not has always been his willingness to attack the tough areas. The game's where he's not on, he pulls up and button-hooks on 2-on-1s and 3-on-2s, spends a lot of time behind the net and on the outside. When he's on, he's shooting actively and taking the puck into the slot. It's such a clear and easy difference to see that it's amazing he hasn't got a handle on it himself. Must be something in his mind.

We may have something. Not watching the game but how's he doing?

I like when he mixes the two. That's when he's at his best.

Hopefully Talbot continues his hot play.

Could the same be said for Lucic?

This specific game.

Also having a rough go but I have faith in Kosky

Not with his hands. It's much more about his inability to handle the puck.

Holy Hell! You and I completely agree on something.

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if Koskinen was the Oilers starter next season. I rather like his game overall.

I still can’t wrap my head around the suddenness of his decline. 23 goals, then 10 and now on pace for 2. How does an established scorer in the NHL suddenly lose all ability to score? It’s mind boggling.

Same. I thought the latter half of last season was due to bad luck as indicated by stats... (SP way below career average) However, this just doesn't seem to be the case.

It's like me on the ODR.

I honestly think I'm a better skater than him and I only started regularly skating when I was 15, but then took like 4 years off. Still better.

He was doing pretty (frank)ing well before Christmas last season. Don't know what happened. I'm still convinced it could be something in his mind but who knows.

We agree on a few things. Like Hitler is bad.

Yeah I can't see them resigning Talbot. Like the guy as a person, but his late starts have killed this team. If not for Koskinen we'd be battling for the first overall.
