His skating style is heavy, but he is not slow. His chances in this game have all come from him skating into open ice

Period horn is still broken? wtf

Surely they could have found a better temporary replacement than an airhorn from Princess Auto being played over the PA

That flex on Wolfs stick was insane.

It's frustrating when this team starts to rely on 3rd period efforts to win a hockey game. We can always be having these slow starts and the team has to get back to 60 minutes of hockey.

Just not good enough up front. This is the most passive defense there is in the league but all the shots are coming from the perimeter. No cycling down low which the lazy Oilers get disinterested in fast.

Monahan all game, where is he? JG invisible the second period. Colborne, same, he's getting pushed off the puck by Schultz. Backlund? Weak all around against a team they should be walking all over, especially after the last game as far as offensive performance.

The lowest scoring month in team history. That's saying something.

The guys coming up from the minors are out-playing the veterans by a good margin.
I would say the team is missing Hudler and Glencross pretty significantly.

Beat me to it. He definitely does not seem slow. He has been in the play.

He was able to find some open ice to put one off the crossbar. So far I like what I have seen in his play

Agreed, I was actually impressed with his speed. It ain't pretty, but it works.

Stop worrying, the Oil's 3rd period history should make a Flame comeback look relatively easy.

The more I watch Raymond the more I dislike. What a frustrating game so far. It would be nice if the coach would rattle them a bit and sit Raymond and Diaz or something. Shoot some more youth into the line up and make these guys 'earn' their ice time. I would hate to see these recent call ups go to waste.

Yup, no doubt. But that doesn't excuse the other vets from stinking the joint out.

He's definitely slow, at least NHL slow. I would put in the bottom 10% of NHLers when it comes to speed.

Raymond always shoots a flutterpuck. The whole team has flutterpucks tonight, actually
