@SportsnetSpec Sadly, they don't end up in the opponent's net with the same regularity

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@Archaeologuy Can't go for it because the cupboard is bare and nobody wants what's left. Traded the future for mediocre players and magic beans.

[Trevor B @trevb98]

Hot hand fallacy and a refusal to adjust thinking with changing variables and time is the hallmark of so many fans. And more than a few GMs.

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@JonathanWillis @Woodguy55 It's like a twisted hockey version of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. For any player, see how few hops to get back to a year 1 player. Bonus points for not using Gordie Howe.

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@RomulusNotNuma Feels like they are second to almost every puck. And when they aren't second, they don't get a clean handle on it.

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@Archaeologuy Not a great goal for Pickard to give up there either.

[Trevor B @trevb98]

"All the jeavyweights are gone"... that's Tkachuck's music!

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@Archaeologuy Write this game off, send a message, and come back strong in the next one? This game just shows you can dive and flop and turtle and the refs will eat that up. Any semblance of keeping the penalties even is right out the window.

[Trevor B @trevb98]

As usual, by attempting to not affect the game by calling a penalty, the Refs are affecting the game by not calling penalties

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@JasonGregor Started their second shift with energy, but ended up just standing around...

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@EdmontonOilers @paigymartin @scotiabank The 80s Oilers respectfully disagree.

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@OilersNation Seems like every other playoff team is finding new, young defenseman to stock their roster.. Oilers still working with 2nd hand, aging vets.

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@Sports1440 @JasonGregor By not calling penalties as the rules are written, you are "impacting the game" by not allowing the game to be played as it should be played.

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@JasonGregor lots of mishandling of the puck from McDavid, very uncharacteristic. Then he doesn't raise the cup even to shoulder level. Is he playing hurt again?

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@Rob_Tychkowski You can't expect they'd actually take on someone their own size...

[Trevor B @trevb98]

I am very happy this was a success. I would be hesitant to believe it should lead to the formation of a local team. Edmonton comes out to support one-off events very well but is hit and miss with regular support (see Soccer)

[Oilersnation.com, Oily Since ‘07 @OilersNation]

Incredible turn out for the PWHL Takeover today! 👏👏👏

[Trevor B @trevb98]

Yes, he does occupy a large area of ice.

[Edmonton Oilers @EdmontonOilers]

"He plays 22 to 25 minutes every night. He's good at transporting the puck out, getting it out of the zone. The biggest thing is just how much area he covers defensively."

@Woodguy55 Who was it that kept talking about weaponizing the dual offer sheet? I am sure it's come up again recently, for obvious reasons, but I can't recall

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@HuntJason I see that he had Hyman for most of the first. He does alright, but Foegele seems to drag down the offense most of the time, and the 3 of them were Sub 20%

[Trevor B @trevb98]

This is what happens when you give McDavid the boat anchors.. even he is finding it hard

[James Mirtle @mirtle]

Outstanding period for the Oilers. And it wasn't driven by the big guy!

[Trevor B @trevb98]

@HuntJason No.. well Nuge got moved in the first period to Draisaitl, and they were saying McDavid had Foegele and, I think, Perry for a bit. Boat anchors might have been overselling it, but neither are going to set the world on fire 5v5, especially against Barkov.
