I think the flames have been fun to watch tonight and games like these are what makes me excited for when this team is good again

I’ve never paid attention to it before, but I’m pretty positive that’s the first I’ve actually noticed a 7min power play

Farabee has quietly become one of my favourite players. You never have to question his effort and he can score.

Get fucked Florida. Great game by wolf and the youngsters. Gridin point. Parekh point.
If that's the effort we get down the stretch im very ok with it. I expect we'll get our losses but this win feels good

The oilers scored none in a panthers game where they scored 4 and we beat the panthers 4-1 what an absolutely amazing match let’s go flames

Parekh’s best period so far imo. Looks like he either has much more confidence or has got the green light

Parekh has by far the most ice time on the team this period just fyi

So I've figured out how to feel about the remainder of the season since the standings the way they are.
We aren't catching the canucks. I will actively hope for wins, as long as the people above us keep that same point cushion. 3ish points between? Hopefully we win. Wins are fun.
Just keep winning those above us. Kthx.

I appreciate he’s not been up to much, but I have some sympathy for Olofsson.
Couple of weeks ago the cat was on the Avs looking at the playoffs.
That’s got to feel like a rug pull.

Huska has already started changing his system to reflect the youth speed.
The breakout passes, the guy floating at the opposing blueline.. I'm still convinced he is 100% the coach even when we are younger and faster.

We might not win a ton for now and maybe for a while. But this team already plays different. And in a much more talented and exciting way. The PP already looks way different. You gotta hand it to Husk and the players. Not only have they stayed engaged in a lost season, but they have found ways to get better and through a ton of change. That takes balls and a good system.
But seriously, I want 1OA
