  1. So who’s the next coach? lol trade mcdavid please, bring in some grit while he is worth lots! Kane got a swollen head……..need to even out the minutes again, that is how we won, another coach putting all the faith in two players!! That does not work god dam it!!!

  2. I’m sorry. I’m a goalie. And much as I like McDavid (super class act, super generational talent)… that was not what I’d call a classic, proper penalty shot. That was a terrible shoot-out walk-in…. We HAVE** to alter the rules so that Penalty Shots, and of course, Shoot-out’s (which ought to be identical) are ALL BASED on REAL-LIFE breakaways, as if a defender is tailing you. You HAVE to rush the goalie, vs. walking in like Patrick Kane tap-dancing with his stick like Fred Astaire on a Sunday afternoon stroll. You can’t do that. And there’s not even enough momentum to cross the goal line on either side of the net. THAT, ladies and gentlemen, should the the RULE as confirmed by a ref at his/her direction… that the motion was in full-sweep, and moving fast enough. YOU CANNOT slow down to a crawl. It’s a mockery of the game, and makes it completely useless and cringeworthy watching players get cheap goals — which is the last thing that feels like real, fast-paced, elegant hockey. EVERYBODY we have to change the rules. No more shoot-out walk-up’s….!!

  3. Being this good is a blessing and a curse. Ive always been an Oiler fan but what im not a fan of is how people treat 97 in regards to the pedastal that they put him on. Sadly this organization is hung up on past successes and the pressure is just unreal for these guys to bring home a cup. Especially 97. Commercials with 99 and telling the press its cup or bust. Its not working out. Everyone, including the veterens on this team need to stop drinking the cool aid and come to terms with the fact that they arent a dynasty team. Blow it up. I hope Leon and Connor both choose to sign somewhere else . Im done supporting this upper management billionaire wet dream of a franchise that seems to live in fantasy world of run and gun offence with nothing to show for it.

  4. NHL should change its penalty shot rules. Little ridiculous that you can move that slowly toward the goal. This is what I'd like to see:
    1. Penalty shooter starts at center ice.
    2. Everyone else behind the blue line.
    3. As soon as shooter touches the puck, everyone else can chase.
    4. If the shot is saved, the play continues live.
    5. Anyone in the lineup can take the penalty shot, not necessarily the player fouled.

  5. With Kuznetsov it's boring and should be banned, with Mcdavid it's surgical and clean. JUST SAYING.

  6. So um, how about we discuss the fact that Bob robbed McDavid and Draisaitl after the early first period. He let nothing else in, other than this penalty shot. I don't really know who would have stopped that. The save on Draisaitl should be all over the highlights, tbh. Beauty of a save but sure, keep on doubting him. Tied for 20th all-time for wins now and he's going to get more. Gonna end up passing Hasek with 21 more wins.

  7. Damn, I feel like coaches and analysts can study this penalty shot for a while as a case study in both goaltending and shooting. The way McDavid used angles here was definitely what I'd call "surgical".

  8. If a defending player throws his stick to block a shot against his team's empty net, play will be stopped, and a goal will be automatically awarded to the attacking team.

    …kinda feels like the same time-saver should be put in effect when McDavid gets a penalty shot. 😂

  9. McOneway strikes again. Flops like an Italian soccer player, refs play along. Score 2 goals end up -2 , most overrated player of all time.

  10. Who are these announcers? A 10bell save from Picard or whoever that G was in net for Edmonton. Really it starts with a 10?? save?? Where was that?..Cmon ya trying to hard to sell the game a 7 at best. Has the goaltending in Edmonton gotten that bad? These guys fake excitement is such a turnoff. Nice goal from a great player on a team in shambles.
