THE BRIGHT SIDE

- It was nice to see Teddy Purcell get his first goal out of the way early in the season.
- It was nice to see the Oilers shooting the puck. The shots on goal were 40 to 26 which was encouraging considering the Oilers sometimes hate shooting the puck.
- The Pouliot – Draisaitl – Yakupov line was impressive tonight.
- Taylor Hall is a lord of war.
- Defensive zone coverage was a mess in the 3rd period.
THE FACE PALMERS

- Boys… The game started at 7:30pm Mountain Standard Time (roughly) what were you doing?
- Defensive coverage was atrocious on the first 2 Calgary goals.
- Sportsnet put the Flames logo next to Taylor Hall’s goal in the graphic. (see below)
- Scrivens really battled the puck tonight.
- Karri Ramo stole the show tonight.
- Mason Raymond should never score hat tricks EVER.
BEST OF THE TWEETS

Scrivens plays better when he gets 20 shots a period not 7. Great oilers puck control though #oilers #shaky #hope

@OilersNation Did they accidentally dress the 1983-84 Oilers for the start of this one?

“Is it October yet?”, they said. “I can’t wait for October”, they said.
