I was happy to see the habs enforcer go out in game 1, but it feels bad. Always looks better when you go down swingning. Sunaj dude, Lucic is a fuckin beast. 29 teams would want him. Maybe you dont like him but hes great even though he doesnt score 80 pts. | ||

They only allowed 24 shots. In 3rd period they went in with a 4-2 lead and only allowed six shots, while getting 18 of their own. Dubnyk basically gifted the game with a horrendous save % and three absolutely horrifically weak goals, and a fifth goal that while not necessarily his fault, he let out a really bad rebound like 10 seconds earlier in which he could have just killed the play. The third goal was a missed assignment, with traffic, alright I can live with that. Still, three goals against just mediocre shots with no pressure, no traffic, and no real opportunity for second chances. Winnipeg didn't get any real strong chances except their fifth goal, and they were basically gifted four more goals. Edmonton had most puck possession, most shots, more PPs, more hits... The Oilers dictated the game and its pace and the Jets were just along for the ride. Dubnyk just happened to have hi worst game of his career. If Oilers did't giftwrap some flowers, perfume, and a love letter for the Jets it was a 4-1 Oiler win at worst, and larger deficit if the Oilers managed to cash on one or more of their 10+ grade A scoring chances they didn't cash. Good thing though, Eakins ripped them a new one on gifting the game. | ||

Dubnyk had a rough night (I'm still an all-out Dubnyk-supporter) and Hall looked fairly lost at center. Having to count to 5 when you reach the blue-line in order to wait for Ryan Smyth's tired, old legs to catch up certainly doesn't help. I honestly thought it would be much uglier for a roster boasting one actual NHL centerman. edit: One point of concern with Dubnyk is that he's a goalie who relies on his size moreso than his athleticism. And it makes me wonder how much the reduced pad size affects him. Either way, he has already put up a few strong seasons on very poor teams so I'm not about to get worried over a single outing. | ||

Honestly, this loss shows a lot more positives than most of last year's wins. It's hockey and shit happens, but teams who consistently win tend to consistently out-chance their opponents.

Ya thats a good point about big goalies + pads size. Price looked off to, not just off the way he looked last season but positionally too. It will be interesting to see how Rinne and Hiller handle it that too. | ||

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now until they hit mid-season form and get used to the new gear. | ||

Streit and Timonen as your two best d men? At the cap without really understanding how you got there? If I were you I'd be getting ready for being a top 3 draft team. Which is actually good for you in the long term, the Wings will be just mediocre enough to get into the playoffs as a 7th seed before getting squashed if Howard has an off night or two thanks to Holland and his obsession with old men and Babcock and his obsession with Cleary. | ||
