The Oil crack me up. Winning 7-3, McDavid has 5 points, but has the worst +/- on the team at -1.
Good thing nobody told Ottawa not to take any penalties.

Oilers get creative on their cap and go for Tony DeAngelo? 25 years old, had 50+ points last year and was +12.

Not sure where your stats came from but this would tend to say otherwise.

Is Skinner trying to keep the excitement in the game?

No plus given for a goal on the power play. Add those in and he’s what +5. Stupid useless stat.

Well that was an ugly 2 points.
Happy for Skinner and glad he got that out of the way. Doubt he wanted to let in 5 on his debut. 1st goal should have been a high stick, but the other 4 were a weak glove hand or poor tracking. Nerves probably played a big part. I am sure the next time a back up will be put in to give Koskinen a rest it will be Grosenick.
Oilers need to take advantage of the 3 remaining games we have against Ottawa in this stint. And I can't wait for Feb 6th against the Flames, should be a great BOA.

I agree! But it was a win.

I’m thinking you run Kosk on Tuesday night. He has another three days off plays the Flames on Sat and then back to rest against Ottawa the next game.
I’d be worried about him getting to relaxed. Will be interesting to see how they handle it.

Welp, so much for that. He’s not ready.
Kinda ugly, but that’s an 8-1 maybe 8-2 game if Koskinen is in there and they call the obvious high stick. Pretty dominant performance overall.
Haas impressed me in his season debut. Happy to have him back.
Three more of those against OTT and things will look a lot better.
P.S. +/- is the dumbest stat ever...

It’s two points we needed. Skinner sucks harder than a Hoover and the goalie situation is scary at the moment unless Koskinen gets on some EPO and he carries the Oilers for the entire season. Keep Skinner off the ice please....

Skinner has to stay up. Going down into the butterfly way to early. He stays up likely only 1 gets past him. First game the kid played since last March so considering that and it was his first NHL game meh.
But this is the big league and the scouting report is out now so doubt he’ll get another start as he certainly needs more seasoning/work. Thought other than going down way to early his mechanics were pretty good. Grosenick likely to be the back-up going forward and Skinner back on taxi squad. Pray Smith makes it back at some point this year.

FYI +/- isn’t counted on power play goals for or against so...

Agreed
Agreed
+/- is actually the most honest stat not so much for individual players but for a team whom has sucked last 12 years or so has had 1 problem left to be resolved TOO MANY GOALS AGAINST. We score plenty but can’t keep it out of our net. Till that problem is resolved making the playoffs will be only by a miracle. Team D fence and goaltending needs to be about 15-30 goals against less in a 82 game season.

I thought they said it was Skinners first game since last March. Will take the 2 points and try to turn it into 4 tomorrow.
Skinner will likely get better as he gets playing time. I like his size.

As far as Smith goes has anyone hear what his injury is ?????? upper body, lower body, myself I think it's way upper like from the neck up, he always has been a bit of a head case, he is 38 and has found a way to collect his money and not have to do anything for it.
I hated the resigning of Smith this summer and hate it more now, if Kos goes down with a real injury you can stick a fork in them folks because they are done, unless of course they can score 7 a night against every other team in the north
As much as Skinner look nervous and shaky last night which was to be expected from a guy making his NHL debut in his home town our total team defense sucks big time, until that improves I hope the offence keeps putting up 6 or 7 a night.

Playing Ottawa is like being handed two points, you have to mess up bad to lose to them. It's a shame that there are teams that pathetic in the league, it doesn't make for much of a game.

Lower body. The leg or knee is what I read somewhere. I like what Gaetan Haas brings to the fourth line.

Team goals for and against is a drastically different statistic than +/-. If you want to chart individual stats and performance, there's dozens of FAR more useful metrics available. About the only use for +/- is to troll threads on the internet.
As far as giving up too many goals against, 100% agree. Fractions of goal are huge, and the difference between 2.8 GA and 2.6 GA can mean several wins over a season.

He'll clear, and then he can be sent to the taxi squad, where sadly, he belongs. He's pretty much been reduced to being a screen in front of the net, and he doesn't have the ability to score on the in tight chances anymore, so he's easily replace with any big body. I MUCH prefer Neal in that position. He can't hold his own 5v5 on the 4th line, sooooo, time to go. There are better options.
Not a bad guy to have around as a veteran depth F, but too much $$$. Not sure there's any savings by sending him to the AHL, but his contract is up at the end of season, so at least the pain is temporary.

Does Chiasson to waivers mean we get to see Bouchard eased into the lineup against OTT?
That would make sense. Here's hoping...

Funny as he** I basically stated the same thing to my Brother last night. It wasn't about the number of goals scored, but that we scored more.

Neil got in front of the net provided the screen and scored a couple last night, that's why Chiasson is on waivers .
But our problem is still team defense, our goalies get very little support
