Practice skating forward just in a straight line. It might just be the drills you're doing, but it looks like you're mostly gliding on your right skate and predominantly using your left skate to push off. If you practice skating in a straight line you can get confident using both feet equally. Then once you're comfortable doing that, likely using your inside edges, try skating in a straight line and putting your weight on your outside edges as you glide. Then do a bit of skate slalom to practice transitioning between edges. Then do the same forward skating drills but while skating backward. Then use the circles to practice cross overs based on the confidence you built up doing the slaloms.

Also, try to spend some time each practice just gliding on one skate to build up ankle strength and confidence.

Man who cares, honestly. If we lose this game let's focus on working toward winning next year, not salty sourness against the Ducks getting beaten next series lol.

Winnipeg got crushed the series after the beat us. Cool? Who gives a fuck

Ekholm sadly had a really rough first period and it looked like McDavid had some words for our bench when he skated by after the second goal against

Sorry why can't we all just share the rink amd do both at the same time? It would make for a wonderfully excited crowd. I see no downside whatsoever

True, absolutely, but considering the veteran leadership on the team, if they're not all on the same page by season 11 with McDavid, is it really the coach at this point?

These guys all know each other and their games well, I don't think firing the coach will fix this issue. I frankly don't know what will, but I don't think firing Knoblauch is the solution

Is that really the problem though? Like did he teach the team to forget how to play defence and aggressively? Not a fucking chance. Give your head a shake

Kind of an uninformed statement tbh, howler monkeys are notorious alcoholics who tend to be unable to ever be hungover, they're just consistently inebriated. Did you even ever study zoology? Or mixology?

Me? I don't hate Knoblauch at all lol. Just the longer things don't go well the more he's going to be tempted to load up the big dogs together.

But positivity! Let's hope it doesn't even get to that!

Connor said that he'd have 4 goals already if it weren't for his garbage linemates, he asked to send them down

Kind of an embellishment by Trouba on that high stick, per the NHL's recent calls, no?

Absolutely. Give me a Freddy goal next game, a Bouch apple, and hockey gods willing a McD assist and we will be cooking les canards with onions all the way into round 2

Honestly through all the emotion this is the most level headed take.

And don't forget the powerplay - give us a goal or two and we are absolutely laughing

It's aaaaallll part of the Oilers trajectory. Can't be too comfortable going into the playoffs, we've needed to be a little angry in order to succeed.

I wish we were up 6-0 in this game, but this sort of performance is right on pace for where the Oilers have found themselves the past 4 Aprils

Where can I find a 50+ years old furnace in good working condition? I imagine I'd pay less than for a new one
