Any lineup with speed will obliterate this group.

I think Kane will eat this group alive.

We’re so close you can’t even see us in the rear view mirror!!

You thought wrong.

Broberg did alright in his limited time in that game. No reason to rush him to full-time top 4 duty tho. Keep him in a limited role and take steps. If he proves ready, good on him. But no reason to rush him and force failure on another prospect. He played 14m last night and did well. push him to 15-16 next and see where it goes. Eventually 4k and Nurse will be healthy again. Let him earn a spot above someone instead of forcing him into a spot because of draft pedigree and seeing another fail. He could be really good down the line, no reason to make him just the best option they have at the time and waste his potential to become another Petry elsewhere.

not really. Kane had quite a few good looks from what I saw. I only watched the first period though. The hawks don’t have much other than Kane and debrinkat though.
Skinner gave up rebounds on 75% of the shots from what I saw but oilers d were in good position to clear them all. Didn’t really see any second chance opportunities for the hawks. He will need to clear that up.

S. Jones is doing really well it seems.
Toews is still rocking a 0% shooting percentage. Only a matter of time before he breaks out.
How did Kubalik and Dach look? Didn't catch the game.

Sure, Kane had 2 or 3 "good looks" does that equate "eating this group alive?" The team played a solid game and controlled most of the play.

Haven't you learned yet that even when he is wrong, he's right?

I’m never wrong. Once in a while I’m mistaken.

Like a dumb goofy new born giraffe.

Didn't get to watch the whole game, but he looked decent. Snakebit, had a few really good looks, I'd say even better than Kanes, but Lankinen made some great stops on him. He was doing what he needs to, and the goals will come.

Seth Jones makes Duncan Keith look like a 10M dollar D man.

Oilers have the best PP and the second best PK. They are second in GF middle of the pack in GA. It's no secret they could use a vet d-man, goalie and another effective bottom six forward.

At the quarter point of the season I think you can cut the team some slack.

Nope. Sorry cause this team sucks and Holland made stupid moves and they can't keep using McDrai and they will never win in the playoffs, they have players that are too old, etc, etc, etc.

dumb penalties and bad defense. gotta love it

That was quite a dive by McDavid at the end of the game…

So how long is Keith out?
