I’m extremely happy we won. I was holding my breath each time either Heiskanen or Pavelski skated into our zone with possession from the 3rd period onwards.
This team has grown so much this year, it’s amazing to watch. We are starting to see character and a winning attitude from our best players when the going gets tough. I can’t believe this is essentially the same team that used to fold every time they would lose their momentum.
I have nothing but good things to say about Backlund and Coleman this game, they lead with their play starting from the first period. Also I want to give huge credit to Stone, and the 3rd pairing for stepping up with Tanev’s injury. They have done a great job, thanks to all the support they got from the forwards. The top line generated all night and Gaudreau was a force.
I look forward to facing EDM and Smitty after this goalie clinic! I think it’s time we show Oiler fans how the best team in Alberta plays!
