That Aud Smell Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Let's go, Buffalo! I like the idea of the team's emerging breakout player - Cozens - returning to Edmonton to frustrate the best player on the planet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache of God Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 I've always been a fan of these later games. Allows you to get everything done in the evening and then you can settle into the game. If the game is boring it lulls you to sleep and if not, well then you get to lie down and enjoy some hockey knowing you've got everything done during the stay.

Mustache of God Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Are we allowed to discuss gameday bets in this thread (seems like that should be a separate thread? Sabres have always played McDavid well so it's maybe smart to take his under on points? Although it's only a matter of time before he finally breaks out against us.

bob_sauve28 Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Quote The Edmonton Oilers defence has been a gong show to start the season, with the team giving up Grade A shots aplenty and seven goals in its first two games. There’s been no shortage of mistakes, including Brett Kulak’s spectacular wipe-out that led to a Calgary goal on Saturday, as well as some soft play in front of the Edmonton net, not to mention a rough start for the Oil’s single best defender last year, Cody Ceci. How worried should we be about Ceci? Not to worry, even if did make a ridiculously bad line change on Calgary’s fourth goal on Saturday, leaving Ryan Murray in an awfully bad spot as he rushed on to the ice. I’ll go with how well Ceci played last year in terms of reasonable expectations for him, as opposed to his rough start, and the same goes for Evan Bouchard, who has also had a leaky beginning to the season. We grade Oilers players each game at the Cult of Hockey, giving them a mark on a scale of 1-to-10 for their overall play, but we also do video review of all Grade A scoring chances for and against in order to rate and rank players. It’s our 11th year doing this work. https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/leaky-d-oilers-best-defender-off-to-rough-start-but-not-to-worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_sauve28 Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Quote But what would’ve happened if the Oilers never won that lottery? What if they ended up second in the odds landing Eichel? Eichel’s had a fine career up to this point, but he’s been nowhere close to that of Connor McDavid. Eichel’s biggest knock has been his inability to stay healthy. The most games he played came in his rookie year in the league, 2015-16, where he played 81 games and 56 points. Seven years later, he’s appeared in just 412 games over the course of his whole career. In those games, he’s scored 154 goals and 383 points — nothing to slouch at, but a far cry from the 702 points in 489 games McDavid has put up. Connor’s already established himself as one of the best players in NHL history, while the jury is out on what Eichel can be. With a great shot and tons of volume to go along with it, Eichel’s first five years all saw him score over 24 goals with his high being 36 in 2019-20. McDavid, meanwhile, has had six 30+ goal seasons with three 40-goal campaigns mixed in. https://oilersnation.com/news/what-wouldve-happened-if-the-edmonton-oilers-lost-the-connor-mcdavid-lottery-and-drafted-jack-eichel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
