While Montreal rests some players, the Oilers will filed their full team, this bodes well.
First Period
- Two minutes in and Cole Caufield scores!
- Not sure if Jesperi wanted to have a bit of fun, or just plain lacks about an ‘Ever Given’ amount of confidence.
- Just like Primeau, even if there seems to have been a deflection.
- Shorthanded goal! Suzuki!!!
- and 2-2… The goalies are not showing off their skills today.
- Some juggling of a goalie stick.
- … and that was the first period done. /
Second Period
- Sin-bin Suzuki.
- A couple of good chances for Montreal, but no goal.
- Mike Smith goes down after an incidental contact. He seems okay after having gotten some time to recover. Looks like he got hit in the head by a knee or skate.
- If the first 10 minutes was goals galore, the next 20 has been a bit of a downer.
- These referees are… let’s say ‘not objective’.
- Oilers are getting all the help they don’t need fro the refs.
- 3-2 Bad guys.
- Well, this is boring. One period to go. /
Third Period
- Montreal pushing for a third goal.
- Suzuki looking at Caufield like he is a little rookie…
- The number of dirty things that McDavid does late or off the puck is incredible, and he gets away with it too.
- We are tied!!!!! The Darling of Montreal with a gorgeous assist to Nick Suzuki. The future is here, now!
- You know a power play for Montreal would be interesting now, but you know, the refs are not on our side.
- Wow, they saw something!!! To the power play we go!
- Well, that was up to our usual standard. /
Overtime
- Kahun wins it for the Oilers, after a Caufield early shot at the other end. /
EOTP 3 Stars
3) Not a good idea to let the young guys roam around Montreal
2) A nice carefree bit of hockey before we all ramp up again
1) Smile if you’ve done your part to secure your playoff spot
