Personal update: today my time at @OilersNation comes to an end. Was my choice and it was very tough. I owe a lot to @zjlaing and @jsbmbaggedmilk who gave me a chance and guided me along the way. The people at ON are passionate about their craft and I’ll miss that. 1/2

The current success of the Oilers PK seems to be infecting their minor league brothers in Bakersfield. Eek.

This Oiler team isn’t as good as its record says and it’s certainly not as bad as some suggest looking at the underlying metrics. It’s an undefined team that will become clear only if/when it is fully healthy. On the bright side 8-1-1 gives a lot of cushion to be patient.

If you’re wondering if there were any effects of Minny playing their top 5 guys a billion minutes on Tuesday, check the scoreboard.

There are questions about 93 at 2C but when his wingers just fly the Dzone together without any regard for where the puck is, he’s not going to have much of a chance to succeed.

I would very much like to see a completed pass at 5v5 in this game. By either team.

I don’t understand why people are disappointed with Isaac Howard. I’m very happy with his development YTD.

The mistake by Hughes last night in overtime is the exact type of mistake the Oilers top players have made in the past when playing too many mins. The Wild top unit played the bulk of the third period trying to even the score. Tired bodies lead to mistakes.

The return on 93 and then 16 would be helpful sooner rather than later. I thought collectively the top 2 lines were very pedestrian and not very engaged in any of the 3 zones at 5v5. This was a Minny D ripe to be attacked. Levi and Bouchard saved the day.

That entry by Bouchard was ridiculous. My word.

Generally speaking it’s a good idea for one of the low F or the off-puck D to cover the net front. Just one. Don’t need two. But one for sure.

For those interested, I would watch Chloe Primerano. She's going to be the next superstar in women's hockey.

Most encouraging thing out of the Utah game for me was how good Connor Murphy and Jake Walman were. Tracking the game this morning, they were both very good when this game was in doubt. The F group is always going to tremendous, it’s the D that will take this team next level.

I have 30 seconds of Asher Barnett killing off a 3v5 and it is awesome. Saving that for the Monday post.
