You can make fun of Edmonton but damn is this arena money.

I was in Edmonton for about 1 year couple of years ago. Watched many games there..

$40 for ticket on week nights. Including $10 food/drinks coupon. 

 

Arena was 10 to 15 mins from my place so I'd go watch a game when bored.

 

Great arena.

I think that was a pretty solid period overall. Soucy defending mcdavid well a couple of times. Myers looked faded and lost.

 

I like how petey still looks so strong on both sides of the ice with and without the puck.

 

not an incredible period but happy with it for sure.

Because he does it all at a "top 3 of each category" level, but at a speed most guys can't even reach without the puck.

 

And I say that as somebody who loathes the Oilers, but even more than that, Oiler fans.

Thing is I played hockey in my teens and i can tell you that there is no way to keep control of the puck or even pass accurately the faster you go. You know why? Cause you are so focused on pushing skates and on your edge work that your mind is focusing on keeping balance and going faster you cant have your mind coordinate the legs for speed AND hands for shooting or passing ALL at ONCE, you simply can't so you have to compensate either you invest into speed or you invest into passing or shooting you cant have it all this isn't a video game.

Also Hoglander needs to slow down with the puck. Skating himself into trouble.

 

DeSmith is really solid technically in everything except for some post work down low, but looks really good and I can see why he puts up good numbers despite being a smaller tendy. He also looked significantly more technically solid in the pre-skate over Martin. Drastically different how he sits into his movements and just looks bigger in the body.
