A point was there for the taking tonight.

Bryson was on the ice for all 3 goals. JJ, Dahlin, VO for 2. With home matchups, wasn't Donnie's best night.

Too often it seems like Meatballs doesn't have a plan.

Vinnie played a great game. Lots of line shuffling, didn't see a whole lot of 12 in the 3rd.

My cousin Vinny shouldn’t be in the top 6, but he’s taking a lot of heat for a guy who’s always fared well at even strength no matter what organization he’s played in.

I mean a majority of the home games they played with half empty barns with half of the people rooting for the other team.

I get the playoff drought has turned some people away, but the fact that they are the third highest scoring team in the league and fans are just starting to pack the place now kind of sucks.

Even on TV you can see a lot of Oilers jerseys in the 100 section.

Caps game was more or less the same.

He’s been good the last few but there’s a reason they couldn’t sell him last year or this year

His biggest problem is that be doesn’t have an elite or even above average trait.

He’s average at just about everything though, and that in itself is valuable in a sense as he doesn’t kill you at even strength.

High floor but low ceiling.

They used to always beat the Oilers. These f'ers are going to miss the playoffs by one point and then feel depressed and next season will be a bust. Same old crap every year. When push comes to shove, they get pushed around. I will never buy tickets again. What a waste of money!

It’s 1 game so I’m going to give it a lot more time….but….

What Greenway brought tonight was worth like a 4th or 5th round gamble

Not a 2nd.

He did very little

- sbroads24


Are you going to give it a lot more time or are you going to say he was worth a 4th or 5th round gamble. He was as advertised - sound defensively, some good forechecking. I believe he made a good pass to Cozens for a point blank shot, but, didn't come close to scoring himself

Donnie also had Joker and Vinny on the ice with the goalie pulled and 1 minute left. Maybe vinny earned it but Joker is absolutely useless in the offensive zone (didn't Donnie learn anything about having Joker on the ice vs. CLB with the emptY net?).

Jokiharju is a fine #5 but holy hell why was he on the ice trying to tie the game?

He has no offense

I know I wasn't saying this in the Fall, but Mitts has turned into an excellent NHL player. Thought he had one of his best games of the year tonight and got robbed by Skinner at least twice. Casey might be one of the best guys on the team on the wall with the puck or cycling in the corners. Hope he ends up sticking around and I can't believe he'll put up 50 points this season. Perfect 3rd liner that can play up in a pinch and contribute on PP 2.
