Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche won the first match of the season against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers last night in overtime. There is a lot to talk about and discuss so let’s jump right in with today’s episode of The Day After! #oilers #avalanche #nhl
Topics discussed in today’s video include:
– Oilers 7-1-2 since February 26th… but their 5v5 play has me concerned.
– Bouchard’s Overall Game. 4th on the team in scoring (64 points). 4th in +/- (+24).
– Where is Evander Kane??
– Third line struggles (9% xGF last night…)
– Carrick’s first goal as an Oiler
– Desharnais Injury… Do we recall Broberg?
– Skinner’s play
– Officiating
– Closing Thoughts/Look Ahead to MTL on Tuesday @ 7 PM MST.

( imo ) – Tending still SCETCH ! – Skinner ?
Sketch ?
You're going to get mad at me…. don't worry about Kane, why should he risk injury when we're going to make the playoffs… makes sense. We'll be fine.
stuey still goated 🎉🎉
Dri has a weak defensive zone IQ , wish he would hustle more on the defensive end ..be more keyed into his situational awareness
I hope the oilers can heat up at the right time. we need more speed in the line-up like holloway or broberg. I wonder if Holloway gets a chance to play or broberg or even stetcher to replace ceci.
must be a poor analyst to not see or to specifically not comment on Bouchard skating 5' away from McKinnon & coasting to give him some space to make a play. Go to the highlight & review it. Bouch is great at avoiding contact, and preserving himself/having fear of opponents. This makes it hard for others on the team to put fwd full effort, knowing Coach does not expect checking or effort from some. This has carried over to Drais who also decided that he could get away with coasting and leave it up to Skinner, so he could save putting fwd full effort to intercept the puck – as fans would not give him much credit anyway even it he got to the puck. If u play some competition – you will learn that the difference between winning – is the attitude/desire/mindset…. and soft usually loses – that IS the margin & the issue, & coach just wants to survive vs address it
Kane has been forced to play with the bottom 6 slugs
Kane wants Coach to put him on the 1st line.. and hopes the 3rd line doesn't work too well -. Unfortunately its pretty hard on Henrique – media promoting how coming to OIL puts him w so much greater talent & skill – etc…. & is placed w Kane/Brown or Carrick/Perry…. Kane is savy to want to replace Hyman on that 1st line as stats will be stronger w/o more effort.
Don't think Oilers fans can be too too mad we lost. They outplayed us and were favs to win. We still picked up a point.
Bouchard didn't lose the game for y'all in overtime, Draisaitl did. He didn't play tl the whistle. Watch him let Lehkonen drive to the net and play catch up after coasting and then look up to the gameclock to see that he just got outworked.
