FrostyWinnipeg Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Time : Friday 8, CBC Series : Jets 1-0 Oilers Edited May 21, 2021 by FrostyWinnipeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BomberBall Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Ehlers was still in a non contact jersey yesterday, but PLD was back in a regular jersey, so maybe he’s back tonight. Unfortunately, that probably means Vesalainen sits. I thought he looked good in game one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue4ever Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Vesaleinen shows flashes for brief moments given his size, but we need more from a second liner than one wrist shot chance a game. Not sure what will get him going to that next level. Leaves me often wondering why the hype around him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid barely played this year, then was thrown out with players that he was not familiar with. Certainly looked the part but needs to shoot more.

If u are drafted as an offensive player, u should be playing <2 years. Now our only hope is that maybe he's a delayed development like Poolparty. That guy should have spent an extra year in Finland learning English. He's a great guy now for Oilers. Blasted Oilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying he’s going to turn into a legit NHL player, but he needs a real chance. And he did more than get one wrist shot in that game.

Holy geez, the guy hasn't even hit 20 goals in a season. He was the 4th overall pick. "Great" is a relative term here.

Noeller Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I thought Wheeler looked fine and when he "out ran" the defender on the empty net goal, it was a surprising amount of speed/effort for a guy his age... Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue4ever Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 So saw a stat that Draisaitl averages 1.25 points in a game after he is held scoreless, and McDavid averages 1.57. Don’t know about anyone else, but if we hold them to 3 points combined tonight I would happily take that. Would likely mean only 2 goals against.

BomberBall Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Classic refs looking to even things up, only giving Perreault a penalty, in that fracas with Yamamoto. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will the fact that the Jets came out flying and took it Edmonton and outshot them. All they complain about is the lack of penalties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
