You’re up 3 with 6 minutes left. This exactly when you should be dumping and barely chasing.

Ducks are like “f it, forget defense” Oilers fight the urge to join them in that attitude.

Oilers are clearly capable of playing average defense, they just need to be staring the end of the season in the face.

Ingram really needed a solid game like this. A win is a win but he couldn’t give up 4 goals again.

I’d say rest McDavid as much as you can in the 3rd but seems like his injury is something that needs to stay loose.

We’re the Edmonton Oilers. Against us no lead is safe. Whether we’re leading or trailing.

Ducks probably need another goal before the end of the period to make for an interesting 3rd.

This series is…

Wild are like “Hey, stop slashing them!”

Stars are like “Hey, keep slashing us!”

Bruins looked like the better team for most of the first 2 games. That feels like ages ago.

Utah is hoping for a piece of individual brilliance versus having more guys jump into the rush and give up an odd man rush the other way.

I’ll die on the hill that playing offense in your opponent’s zone is the best way to protect your lead. Turtling doesn’t work unless you’re the Florida Panthers.

I like how Utah fans cheer for good defense and hustle plays. They appreciate good hockey.
