We don't get them too often anymore but that overtime was a ton of fun. To the skill competition we go #LetsGoOilers

You see calls like the one on RNH all the time and every single one is ridiculous

Could a lucky bounce and the PP bring the Oilers back to life.

Oilers self-imploding here. To be fair, they had a stinker coming on their road bingo card. Also, you should never change a winning lineup.

Devils taking it to the Oilers in tye second. Not a fan of the go ahead goal on Jarry. Nice shot but he was in a good spot and just got beat. Keeping this at two is a must for 35

For me, the one that knocked it out of the park were the Habs and it's not particularly close. I love the patches on the sleeve...only thing missing was the inclusion of the Expos logo 😉

The guy who apparently ruined evwey goaltender that came to the Edmonton Oilers. It was always a ridiculous hill to die on.

Most tend to ignore why Bowman gave up a 1st to get Dickinson. No question, the Mangiapane contract was on him. With that said, getting rid of that deal & bringing in Dickinson with Dach, was a pretty good recovery. #LetsGoOilers

Connor Hellebuyck’s departure didn’t break Winnipeg. Nikolai Ehlers’ departure did. @Canes

Oilers didn't have a great 2nd period but overall, played quite well and helped their "old" goalie out. Tomkins was solid, which is all Edmonton needs on a nightly basis. Four points would be an excellent trip. Let's see if they can make it a perfect trip. Keep it up gents!!!

Gotta give Tomkins credit. He's been calm with controlled quick movement in tight. Looks good. To be fair, he's not a kid who's playing his first game. He appears to have zero nerves. Not a bad thing for the Oilers.

I see the Skinner love in has come to an end in Winnipeg. Same thing happened in Pitt. Stu is a good goaltender but the environment has to be near perfect for him to execl at a high level. We saw at times with the Oilers but it was when they were at their best defensively.

And this is why the NHL Player Safety is a joke. If this isn't a player deliberately trying to hurt another player, what is? Zadorov looking for an opening to clock a defenseless Vlasic, is as cheap as it gets.

Boston’s Nikita Zadorov has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for roughing Chicago’s Alex Vlasic.

I would've went back with Jarry but today's outcome coupled with how the team has played the past two games, likely couldn't find a better sport to start him. I'm assuming the collective play their asses off for him. #LetsGoOilers

Back to back 4-0 wins suggest Walman will be sitting once again. He put himself in this spot. He now has to sit & wait. #LetsGoOilers
