Back-to-back cup finals hangover? Seriously, though, I think they missed Hyman a lot, just got him back. Secondary scoring hasn't been there like last couple of years. I do think all the recent deep playoff runs have caused them to start slow, which has been common with them the last couple of years. They'll likely catch fire in December/January. I just don't see them getting over the Cup hump with Skinner/Picard. Skinner isn't very good and Picard's been awful this year.

Oilers will pay for the Sabres laundry for two weeks.

I said "seriously." 😂

Oilers need to start taking goaltending seriously or they're gonna piss away McDavid and Draisaitl's primes. Skinner is butt cheeks.

Östlund x2

Just enjoy the small moments. Deal with the 💩 when it comes.

This is the most inspired play I've seen outta the boys on a while.

Pretty good limiting rebounds, too; something UPL is NOT good at.

Oh, Krebsie...I don't think Podkolzin is a guy to trifle with. But admire the guts.

He's very sound.

Don't get sucked in this early.

Most dangerous lead in hockey against McJesus, Draisaitl and company

Ferk. Caught on a change.

I've always considered the Oilers kind of my "second team" so I watch a lot of their games; Michaels and DeBrusk are one of the best crews in the business.

Östlund nice handles!

Another Sabres power play

Mangiapane looks like a nutria

1 for last 20 on the power play Seth Appert:

Drop pass

Uneventful first 7 minutes, but here comes the Sabres power play

So, Norris plays Sunday afternoon and is in traction by 5 pm?

Went to an improv show with Mrs. Slinky, so missed the game. I glanced at the score between sets and saw 4-1 Wings, and muttered to myself "yep, seems about right." This is a pleasant surprise to walk out to. Always like beating the Wings and the Laffs also lost again. That's a good night, friendos. On to the next one.
