Should Oilers be encouraged by their chances in Game 1?



Should the Oilers be encouraged by their chances in Game 1? What did the Oilers do well in Game 1? Should Edmonton be concerned about Florida exploiting the Cody Ceci and Darnell Nurse pairing? TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joins Jay Onrait to share his thoughts.

  1. Not the best moves on those break aways
    Those saves were made easy by the lack of the offensive moves made by the shooters

  2. the thing is EDM can't play nurse and ceci together. huge liability when together. on for both goals against and clear misplays leading to goals.
    those two are the best things to happen to florida since they built disneyworld lol.

    am intrigued to see what coach KK does. he made some good lineup changes in the DAL series that led to success. i expect the oilers to cut down on mistakes they made.
    while i picked FLA to win the series, if the series ends up 1-1 after monday night, i can live with that.

  3. I feel like the Oilers did outplay the Panthers and should have capitalized on some big Panthers mistakes, but Bobrovsky was unreal. At one point, Bob was standing on his head and his pads were like two towers in the air. Great performance by him. I feel also think (as many do) it was a huge mistake to put Ceci and Nurse back together. That pairing made 2 huge crucial mistakes that ultimately cost the Oilers the game.

  4. look at the goof with no socks at all. what is wrong with the media people? clowns, the lot, like our politicians and paid by the same people.

  5. Panthers locked down a 2 goal lead in the 3rd but the Oilers had way more chances to score. McDavid and the boys can smell blood. They will make their statement tomorrow.

  6. Honestly, the Panthers fore checking didn't matter, nothing the defense or offense did really mattered… Bobby stood on his head that game, the end… He can't do that every game, so I'm not worried

  7. The story hasnt changed much for the oilers. Doubling shots on teams all theough the playoffs, brobovksy got in the way.

  8. Edmonton has the fire power to crumble the wall šŸ§± but if McDavid or Drai get injured Edmonton doesn't stand a chance this series!

  9. Both teams will make adjustments, Oilers won't be getting as many chances as this goes along. Unless Skinner can match Bob, this is going to be very hard for the Oilers to win.

  10. too funny Cats played the worst game of the series and still won …maybe the "Grease Stain " win 1 maybe …..they cannot win with the goaltending or defense

  11. Oilers were out hit, out face-offed, and lost the giveaway/takeaway battles. They have a hard row to hoe to win a game.

  12. Oilers fans be like: we dominated and only lost because we didn't score any goals!! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  13. I'd be worried because the Panthers made lots of mistakes and Paul Maurice being the guy who will focus on those details will tighten up where they made mistakes.
    The Panthers know they didn't play a great game and they also know Bob should not be their soul source of winning.

  14. Oilers have the best player. Panthers are the better team. It's that simple. This series isn't going 7.

  15. What the Oilers need to encourage them:

    McDavid – Stanley Cup
    Drai – seeing boobies in the audience
    Kane – gambling
    Nurse – $$$ or mean comments from the media

  16. 4:20 Nurse is capable???? I think him making the same mistake over and over 10000000x shows he's not capable… He's a hulk with zero brains, can't read the game at all nor make smart decisions nor fix his mistakes. He is not capable period.
