I don't know what game DeBrusk was writing, they were hardly better in the 2nd half until Chicago went to the garbage time prevent defense. When the Hawks were going the Oilers had no answer, they were badly outskated, couldn't execute a break out and their whole team was give away after give away.
Yeah, they got their power play goals McDavid got his mandatory 3 points on the PP but looked like complete garbage 5v5 and had a awesome give away on one of the hawks goals. Koskinen looked better then Smith, but who knows what you're going to get out of him on a game to game basis.
This is the second game in a row where the Oilers looked rather not so good 5v5, the Hawks were a faster and more determined team.
