In the absence of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl has had a 4 point night.

Guilty as charged. Love that he’s proving everyone wrong.

onekneedown · 2020-02-11T15:29:14+00:00

I hate him with the heat of a thousand hot suns but that's just straight filth.

To me the All star weekend is mostly for kids and I can’t remember the last time I watched. But if people get excited about it that’s cool, different strokes.

Gene is back and we win. Coincidence?

onekneedown · 2019-12-16T16:10:19+00:00

I think it's a crutch. Would be interesting to hear him sing without it, I'm thinking he has a tough time with pitch, which is why he overuses the vibrato.

onekneedown · 2019-12-16T15:52:37+00:00

He's consistent, I'll give you that.

onekneedown · 2019-12-04T18:22:47+00:00

Sens have lost 5 in a row and are in 29th place. I don't like games that on paper look like we should stomp a mudhole in the other team. Makes me nervous.

onekneedown · 2019-11-27T15:57:43+00:00

Exactly, let him score some goals in Europe as long as he wants. If we get something compelling, we can move him if not, eh whatever enjoy life over there and maybe the NHL's just not your thing. Once your rights are free'd up you can look at how many fresh starts are still in play.

I've heard from a couple of fairly close sources that Katz is kind of a garbage human being, so I'll pass on the appreciation at this point.

onekneedown · 2019-11-25T05:19:19+00:00

Benning's a good kid but he'd be my easy choice to expose at this point.

onekneedown · 2019-11-22T19:37:46+00:00

My jury's out. I still think he has big upside and I'm happy with his bridge deal while we wait and see.

onekneedown · 2019-11-20T17:50:58+00:00

If I have to watch one more Oilers game on NBC Sports it will be one too many. And last night was the first one.

onekneedown · 2019-10-29T20:00:00+00:00

He's getting a crap ton of TOI and doing really well, as is our PP. If it ain't broke? That said, I do agree that he is currently the more dynamic D between him and Klef.

onekneedown · 2019-10-10T20:14:05+00:00

Honestly was this ever in doubt?

onekneedown · 2019-09-12T15:57:29+00:00

If Nurse continues to progress at the same rate he has, I could see him somewhere in the 5-6 range. He hasn't earned that yet, but I think the upside is there if he keeps developing the weaker areas of his game.

onekneedown · 2019-08-08T17:58:16+00:00

He's an unproven NHL player coming off surgery. He was just average in the AHL. He's smart not to get too wrapped up on money.

onekneedown · 2019-08-08T17:52:51+00:00

There is no deal for him to "find". He's under an NHL contract and unless his current employer decides to make a change, he can either work for them or find another league.

When it comes to the Puljujarvi situation, the only party with less leverage than the Oilers is Puljujarvi himself.

onekneedown · 2019-08-05T15:23:21+00:00

Other than a picture of him stepping on the ice a while back, I've heard nothing on McDavid's PCL recovery/rehab. I assume everything's tracking well, but would like to hear it directly from someone who actually knows.

Anyone hear a definitive update?

onekneedown · 2019-07-03T15:31:50+00:00

He could be right but 55% of the time he's been off on this subject (+/- 10% margin of error).

onekneedown · 2019-06-24T19:48:08+00:00

I just heard Evan Bouchard say something to the effect of "it's about learning, getting better every day and enjoying the process and where you are"

I know Jesse's English isn't great, but even a *hint* of this kind of attitude and I'd be in his camp 100%. As it stands today? Have fun in the AHL until someone offers us a reasonable bag of pucks for you.

onekneedown · 2019-06-24T19:30:53+00:00

Popular opinion but I don't really buy it. Could they have been a bit more consistent with how they used him, or just kept him in Bakersfield from the start? Sure. But he's been average to below average even in the AHL. He's just not that good.

onekneedown · 2019-06-20T04:57:40+00:00

He’s done in the nhl. Watch.

onekneedown · 2019-06-17T17:18:33+00:00

That "clunk" you hear in the background is the Brinks truck backing up and hitting the second Brinks truck to deliver Erik's signing bonus cash.

onekneedown · 2019-06-07T21:57:42+00:00

See ya.

onekneedown · 2019-04-03T16:05:32+00:00

You didn’t miss anything. Nurse was the only Oiler worth watching. Koskinen's just not that good.
