On another note, I'm pretty happy for Yakupov who seems to be adjusting well to his new team. It is obviously very early, but I think he might have a 20 goal, 20 assist season for the Blues, which would be a career high for him in both categories.
Great start for the team, sure is nice to finally have a win over a legit playoff team. Lucic and McDavid looked unreal last night, Lucic was skating hard and showing off some sick hands. I wasn't a fan of the Russell signing but man has he looked good early on, he's calm and collected when he has the puck and rarely makes a terrible give away or panic icing play. If the Oilers could get some consistent secondary scoring from the 2nd and 3rd lines that would be great.
