After watching this game, I honestly don’t know how the Oilers don’t get blown out 7 to 4 against every team in the league, which possesses any modicum of skill.

Also, Byfield is an absolute f***ing pu$$y. The way McDavid manhandled him on several occasions tonight is just sad. The kid needs to be put on an insane bulk program this offseason. I want 15-20lbs of muscle added to that frame. It’s gross watching him get out battled along the boards, and tossed aside like a 12 year old girl in open ice foot races to a loose puck.
Lee and Helenius, on the other hand, looked like physical menaces tonight that Edmonton did not seem to want any part of. I just need them to both crank up the nastiness about 15%.

If you say so, but I am also ready to take credit because this was the first shootout of the season I did NOT watch.. my DVR recording cut off at the every end of OT. I assumed the extra point going to Edmonton was a foregone conclusion until I checked the NHL app to see which Oilers did us in..

My lean is that Byfield played a smart game - it's pretty obvious that if you touch McDavid you will get a penalty while McDavid is allowed to grab sticks, players and pretty much anything else he wants.
Let's also not talk about the 4 cross-checks to the back and 3 to the chest Clarke took on one play alone. I forget who the Edmonton player was (may have been Kapanen) but Clarke just gave him a look like "wtf" as he continually took hits to the chest.
I’ve met Daryl multiple times. Great guy. I follow him on X and like his posts where he runs through the away cities.
That being said,his outfit tonight was absurd.
This makes me laugh. It was 1993 game 7 Kings/Leafs and I wouldn't get to watch it because of an event I couldn't get out of (almost 100 miles away) so I programmed my primitive VCR and planned it out. I set the sound to inaudible on the TV and decided when I got home I would turn the tv on (the cassette would have long run out) and take a quick peak to see if they were still playing and if so turn it up and watch the finish probably a second OT. I knew not to listen to the radio on the way home nor did I think anyone would bring up the game at the event (very few if any hockey fans).
Bored with whistling in the wind on the way home I remembered there was an automated station that played mediocre completely unknown jazzy type crap (the Wave?) so I thought I'd take a chance and turned it on. One guess at what song was playing...from Queen...

Did not expect to see that result especially after the wild comeback from the bears earlier. Not sure how this team beats the oil but loses to the peg, but here we are.

According to every Oiler fan online - The refs screwed us.
McJesus scored in overtime (completely ignoring him literally running into the goalie before the puck went in)
Friggin' crybabies..

That’s pretty much the norm. I imagine Oilers’ fans read from or copy+paste from the same script after any loss at this point.

They may have gotten 90% of the calls to go in their favor. But they didn't get 100%. So you see, the refs screwed them.

Rewatch the game. Byfield held him to 1 point, which he got on the 2 man advantage when Byfield was in the box.
If he adds bulk, then he can’t hang with his speed.
Yes, I know this completely contradicts my view of played and size, but somebody has to try and keep him in check.
