Can you guys stop complaining about Sam Gagner now please? He's been playing very good all year. He played very well at both ends of the ice all night.
Hopefully he can keep it up. He has always been a 5 good games followed by 5 invisible games player.
I was very impressed with the top line tonight. Their best game of the season so far imo. It is only a matter of time before they break out and put 3-4 in the net in one game. They had so many great chances in the third.

and hes winning faceoffs too.he plays a lil physical but still his speed is no better than AHL level...hes smart though..Hemsky(mr.offside) is the real problem on that line..
By the way..LOVE krueger putting yak out for the empty netter..the kid will be great, just needs to find his game, and he will very soon..Stamkos Style
Great game by Doobie. Hall was easily the best player on the ice and thats saying something because Ebs and #19 played great. Its only game 5, im going to wait until game 10 before i start calling this defense terrible lol. But yea great game. One day we will score 5 on 5 im almost sure of it
Hemsky wasn't bad, Gagner was great, Yakupov struggled. As soon as they took him off that line in the third they started moving the puck in the right direction. But hey, Yakupov is raw, he's still extremely talented.
Horcoff had a puck go in off his foot and Hemsky turned the puck over all game.
Hemsky has always had a lot of turnovers. It comes with his style of play. He also scored one and got robbed on another, in case you weren't paying attention.
Colorado's a pretty awful hockey team. Who's out besides Captain Intangibles?
The Oilers should be getting at least a dozen power plays a game on a defense like that. Every play should be breakout pass -> drive wide -> get power play on stone feet defensemen.
Good game by the Oilers, especially the top line and the 4th line. Only thing that concerns me is that in the 3rd Colorado started exploiting the Oilers' two glaring weaknesses this season: 1) Dubnyk's poor rebound control (shoot from everywhere) and 2) the inability to contain the cycle behind the net.

Hall did a really good job of moving the puck up the ice and establishing control in the offensive zone. I think it really helped the top line have a great game tonight.
Lets hope Vancouver loses so we sit at the top of the NW tonight.
