[@Greenfrom3]

Drawing and taking penalties. Haha. I'm all here for it though

[@tamman994]

He’s also playing some of the best 2 way hockey of his career, which is great to see

[@shinykari8799]

Davo was spicy last night and it was great to see.

When ekholm took that hit from Gourde. McDavid was the first one to jump on him. I love to see it.

[@ratboy717]

Doing a great job of leading the team, leading by example with that level of grit

[@sportsmaster1364]

When I saw McDavid, of all people, being the net-front presence against the Leafs and taking away Martin Jones's vision, that was the moment I realized just how cohesive and bought-in this team is right now. Special time to be an Oilers fan.

[@steverogers5956]

That one play is a microcosm of what makes McDavid different from so many other stars. McDavid battles to occupy space in front of the goalie and take away his vision. Auston Matthews flinches away from a shot he could have blocked. I mean, Matthews may be the best pure scorer in the game today, but damn, that was a bad look...

[@AbeYousef]

@@steverogers5956 McDavid has really gone down the first line grinder path that Crosby went down for this year. It's been fucking amazing to watch

As an Oilers & Canucks fan, this is the best season of my life. I don’t know wtf to do 😂

[@maximal2878]

If draisaitl plays like this it’s just straight up scary. Sometimes he seems a little slow but on these nights he just looks like a tank.

[@SaDexcusE98]

He’s a very motivational player. Meaning he likes direction. Germans are very outspoken but they want to win. Now we have direction. It’s over for the league.

[@ryanhobbs7041]

There’s truly some nights where’s he’s the greatest player in the world it’s nuts

[@Pfuetz4]

He lulls you. Players can't knock him off, he'll often circle the o-zone looking for some backhand sauce. He's not slow. asmuch as he has this methodical nature about his cycle game. You can hear the jaws music playing if you listen closely.

[@TheGibzar]

He has the laziest and most lackadaisical skating style of any player in the league right now, but is deceptively quick and his hockey IQ is high too so he's rarely out of position. He just glides into open ice and the puck finds him, and he's probably the best passer in the league, and can snipe with the best.

[@DrChess8]

I've gone from tears of sadness to tears of joy watching the Oil this season. What a turnaround and what a fun team to watch!

[@fredrickneitzche6748]

Give it a rest this team is going nowhere.

[@ryancosmia]

Cope, might as well enjoy it while times are good. Any fan from any team would.

[@jasonfougere3274]

One of the major differences since the coaching change is that the Oilers aren't running around in their own end. They are structured and cohesive, rarely out of position. They have limited the high quality scoring chances and when they retrieve the puck in their own zone, there are multiple options to transition the other way. So enjoyable to watch.

[@mikel6090]

This is what my Leafs team needs.

[@jasonfougere3274]

Yeah, no doubt. Don't lose hope. You guys have most of the pieces in place.

[@cfgjr]

Awesome breakdown of the Hyman goal from McDavid. That’s what makes your channel special.

[@JonathanHawkey]

Thanks so much cfgjr! That means a lot to hear

[@darylwilliams7883]

Every Oiler is now confident enough to shoot whenever they get the change, and not only blast it at the net but shoot for the corners. and force goalies to make saves. And when you get enough shots, you get goals.

[@johnfive2440]

I am a lifelong Oiler fan living in Edmonton and I kind of must disagree with part of your comment. In no way are they confident enough to shoot whenever they get the chance, every game, they still hold on to the puck too long at very important times instead of shooting.

[@Apoch86]

[@Skynertia]

The amount of heat Nurse gets is insane to me. Like okay yes he makes more than he's worth, but no he's not bad, and no he wouldn't be the 4th best defenseman on any other team. He isn't a pretty player like Makar or he doesn't have the pedigree that someone like Hedman has, but there might not be a player closer to Alex Pietrangelo than Darnell Nurse. For people saying it's the worst contract in the league... I mean this league has Huberdeau, Gaudreau, and Seth Jones.

[@6BURG9]

As an Oilers fan... Don't forget Campbell lol For my money(and I'm glad it isn't), Huberdau is by far the worst contract in the league.

[@mr0bviouslyinsane]

We certainly did win our 13th in a row, setting a new NHL record for consecutive wins by a Canadian team. 🍻

[@TylorMyers]

I love the pass to McDavid in the slot analysis. But it's actually deeper than that. He's already analyzed the situation and position, and he's saying to himself "this is what I will do if he sends me the puck. This is what I'll do if he wraps, this is what I'll do if d goes back" etc. It's not a split second decision, it's processing 8 variable scenarios at one time.

[@edited1325]

[@dwaynethewokjohnson7773]

Oh don’t even get me started om that turd. Right now all we can do is celebrate and enjoy this. But still it won’t matter fully until playoffs for this team!

[@flytheskymyway]

You better not forget to mention Desharnais on the defense. He’s been rock solid and amazing and disrupting and breaking up the opposition plays.

[@DerekKerton]

True. The move McD makes at 3:00 is such simple stickwork. Just watching the video, I KNOW I could do that stickwork and skating. Nothing tricky about the hands or the skates, or even speed. But the thing is, I wouldn't. I'd have no plan what to do, and I'd be playing catch up after getting the puck knocked off me into the corner. It's the classic "He makes it look easy." but you only really think it's easy if you're unaware of all the things you don't know. NHL players have insane hockey processors, and McD is top of the class. But then, they've also got the hands and feet when they need them, too.

[@kwpowell0412]

I loved watching Foegele when he posted for the Canes. Not only is his playing very good. He has an infectious personality. Really miss him in Carolina. But Im still pulling for him. The kid truly has earned his way in hockey.

[@thebenefactor6744]

Defence is going to be Paul Coffey's baby; Foegele, Ryan, McLeod are finally stepping it up; I'm waiting for Kane and Nuge to start dropping gears, cross your fingers on that one; and then there's that wild card spectre of Holland bringing in someone before the deadline. It's just a matter of consistency from this point. But I'd love to see a deeper dive into the coaching staff; seems like there's good communication there from all ends. Something's finally meshing at a bedrock level.

[@theholygrass19]

Down 2-0 start of the season: probably 6 against by the end Down 2-0 now: thats the last goal they're scoring

[@Slortchy]

I am a hawks fan, watching the hawks in the early 2010s was amazing but one thing that both the oilers and the 2010s hawks have, they are never down and out until the game is over. I think if the Oilers make the playoffs and win the cup, this will be a big reason why.

[@atf5813]

It’s crazy to me how the Oilers have gone from one of the worst teams defensively to one of the best.

[@jlaun78]

Deharnais has made huge improvements too. Would love to hear your thoughts on Knoblauch. Finally someone has got this team buying into playing defense. Has also made some interesting low key moves and line changes.

[@TongSing9643]

I am from Fiji🇫🇯. Edmonton and Ottawa are my favorite teams. Hope Oilers will beat Pittsburgh's 17 streak.

[@lucassande1833]

In terms of the defensive play, I’d really love to hear your thoughts on Ekholm, Desharnais and Kulak rather than the other 3. Desharnais has finally reached a balance of offensive and defensive puck plays and pinches, which is a mile ahead of where he was last year. Elholm has added a new offensive layer to his game, and Kulak has tightened his overall defensive game up a bit.. big turn around for the bottom pair and whole backend unit under Coffey

[@crashandburngaming5103]

Totally agree. They showed alot of heart coming back from the disastrous start. As for Coffey, I respect the guy and think he is a real good fit for the way they play. It reminds me of growing up watching them inthe 80's. It's really exiting.

[@ericksonjustinAK]

That pass by McDavid was good, but anybody that deep would have sense that they are going to be challenged right away. That's not rocket science.

[@JonathanHawkey]

It’s one thing to know you’re going to be challenged, it’s another to process a play where you get the puck to space + into a position to pass it through a defenders legs all in the span of the 1/2 second in which the puck is coming to you

[@ericksonjustinAK]

@@JonathanHawkey sure, but anybody would try to put that puck into empty space right away. The rest of it, yes, was awesome.

[@CaptainFresh44]

We definitely need an upgrade on Ceci, that would be the big move to make at the deadline.

Good Analysis and video. In this winning streak Oilers have truly deserved to win all but 1 game due to sheer hardwork. The defensive structure has definitely been the big change. The consistency has been the other. The team just keeps doing their thing regardless of score. I hope they can continue to play at this high level. Flames quietly being slept on as well. They are a rock throw away and have been playing good hockey lately too.

Wait for the compliment on the McDavid "processor" segment. If you played a lot of competitive hockey as a kid, your body "gets" these things on autopilot. This is THE major disadvantage I have in deeply understanding and analyzing the game as a female hockey fan: I have only the camera view, and no first-hand experience. All learning is intellectual. So I really loved and appreciated your segment on McD's "processor" and how scouts look for that kind of muscle memory skill.

[@Cigarsnguitars]

That’s a huge amount of data collection and processing/analysis for a backhanded pass to his mate with his stick on the ice. You can probably see that play work or at least be attempted 20 times a night easily, sometimes win, sometimes lose. They don’t get all worked up like it was made by the right hand of God himself.

[@scrivener68]

Yes, the D-men you mentioned are all part of the turnaround story, but I also gotta give props to Vinnie Desharnais. No, he isn't ever going to be a Norris trophy candidate, but he has settled into his position mainly (I think) by accepting that he is who he is and just playing solid, route-one, by-the-book hockey. Last year, and then even more in the first weeks of this year, he seemed like a sure bet every game to make one or two absolutely boneheaded plays with the puck in his own end, but it's been quite a while since I've seen anything like, for one example, a lazy backhand no-look pass with his net empty that luckily hit the post.

[@robgranberg7854]

One big thing the defense isnt doing now that they were, early. They used to just rim the puck without looking for an outlet pass. They would just bury their head and fire it, jamming up the winger or just gifting the opposing dman an easy keep in. Possession time is key in games. Like, limiting needless dump ins when no one is chasing for it or a delayed offside and just chucking it back in, basically giving the other team possession.
