Oilers go on the road to down the Predators by a score of 4-2 in their most complete game of the season so far. Rishaug, Strudwick and Rob Brown break it down.
For christ sakes, playing faster means moving the puck faster which means no lookers and trust and responsibility and a strict structured System, which the Oilers do not have. Fast with the Oilers management style means fleet of foot and on-the-fly.....losing all the footspeed we had last year is now a killer.....those players were recruited for that speed because it fit the Oilers on-ice tactical management focuses.....what kind of an idiot lets that speed go without realizing that without it you must have a structured management program in place? On-the-Fly creative management means playing at your own pace, you CANT just "move it faster" and start firing pucks everywhere to open ice hoping guys will arrive out of the mist. We just brought the d-men up to the Blueline to help the Backcheckers win battles which closed a lot of Gaps that were being poorly managed ,now be patient and offense will begin to catalyse off of the Backcheckers winning battles and immediatly turning it around and transitioning to offense using Zone Transits instead of multiple Zone Transitons.That will "speed up" the Oilers game a lot. Transit vs Transition will really mess Struddy up lol lol lol lol . Nurse has been NOTICABLY better the last 2 games.

PK let in 1 of 3. Almost no hitting by the Oilers but a lot of hits by Nashville. I don't care if you hit or not, the goal is to prevent someone from scoring or take a puck away, Nashville didn't do that. McDavid got his first goal of the season and the Oilers have now won 2 in a row (after loosing 3 in a row). The mayor of Smashville got one lowly assist (on that McDavid wrister just 44 seconds after Nashville tied it at 2) to take the lead. Kulak's first goal (a try and try again and eventually it will go in) was just after the penalty to Nurse and McCarron who had a fight. Emotion and score. The one PP goal Nashville got was on a double minor for High Sticking to Podkolzin. Again, my circumstances prevent me from watching, well, anything right now so I can only go from what I hear. While Nashville tied it late in the 2nd I actually wasn't worried (as Connor McDavid and the team responded 44 seconds later). Take care all.
Struds has elite chirps. "Did you wake your wife up to tell her" hahah
Lol I almost chocked on my breakfast when struddy said ABBA! Did not see that one coming. 😂😂😂
This was one pf my favourite episodes. Lots of laughs snd good jabs!
Strudwick needs more of that South African rooibos tea... But I agree 100%
It'll be fun to see the new cylinders of this team gel.....HEy, Arvidsson has a rep to protect... no sweaty uni's on camera.

I'm really disappointed that they keep winning. Maybe they'll keep winning if I stay disappointed.
