All in all it wasn't as bad as some would shout in the heat of the moment, but game 1 was to feel them out , the line jumbles i know Woody thinks its like Lego they fit anywhere, but that is not whats showing. Some line switch ups were awkward and showed player confusion and non conformity. Some lines and match ups work and some need work. now is not really the time to try untested match ups causing uncertainty in where and who was on each others lines. Sure it throws off Vegas, but clearly its showing it mixes up the forward pairings of the Oilers as well.
This is kinda on woody s much as the players tonight, you could see non familiar players unsure how new player on line skate, shoot, reacts, etc.. that's where the loose uncertain hesitation stemmed from .
Vegas did play hard and strong like they had to push hard to take on the oilers, which is to be expected. BUT Vegas CANT KEEP UP THAT pace , so as per last 2 years vs Vegas stats, historically factoring the Oilers should push 3 straight wins starting now if all things being equal based on past matching's and wins by the Oilers.
Game 1 is a testing ground and both teams played their asses off and both did well overall
having to play that system against LA will take awhile to break. Sitting back, setting up, breaking out. None of that in this series. The Oilers will adjust.
Guys been playing so sloppy since he came back from injury. Nothing but turnovers and missed opportunities. A couple of goals on nice shots and easy set ups, but his puck management is terrible lately.

Isn't he cold?
Hopefully Vinnie learns something from the pressbox…
I hear a lot of excuses about not playing awhile, playing a different style, our C game…maybe Vegas is good and locked in…
Go Knights Go !!
Put a damn shirt on and also stop complaining on the ice
No show #91.
EK is 50/50 flip the coin chameleon.
Good luck catching the Seattle Kraken.
a lot of dumb questions.
WTF is with this team already?🤬
Jack should be getting the game 2 start. Skinner is consistently inconsistent all playoffs.
Skinner kind of sucked tonight… Maybe Campbell needs a chance now.
kane seems like he was partying last night looks like hes sketchy
Evander was it more like an Exhale or an Inhale?
Oilers looked sloppy all game but I have faith they will turn it around defensively

WAKE UP KANE, NUGE, DRIVE TO MIDDLE IN O ZONE……. QUIT THIS PERIMETER CRAP…..SOFT. STONE IS HURT….. GO FINISH HIM….
😂
The team was a little flat, can't only be Drai scoring team effort. Don't fall apart guys, bring the cup home.
Boys had beach legs. Lol
