We are back with another next day reaction video!
The Edmonton Oilers took on the Colorado Avalanche Tuesday night in game one ultimately dropping the decision by a score of 8-6. Far from a perfect game, Edmonton battled back rallying from a 7-3 deficit to make it a close one.
Woz and I once again broke down the game on YouTube.
And there was lots more on the go at Oilersnation today, too. BaggedMilk had last night’s Wrap Up, while I took care of the usual Clips and Quotes and The Day After.
Robin Brownlee looked how the Oilers need to be better, while Jason Gregor examined the areas the Oilers need to tighten up.
Lastly, I wrote about an Oilers draft pick the club is losing the signing rights too, and dove into the goaltending for both clubs.
