Is there an argument to give the hart to anyone but Leon this season? Man he's been good.
Wow what a 3rd period by Edmonton.
Is there an argument to give the hart to anyone but Leon this season? Man he's been good.

There was a lot of people questioning the signing of Mike Smith coming into this season, but he's been solid back there in nets for the Oilers this year. If only he was 5 years younger.
And yes, Leon's taking home some hardware this off-season. He's also putting to bed the whole "he needs Connor to produce" or "he's only this good because he plays with McDavid" arguement.

Smith has been really really good since the new year. Draisaitl is going berserk as well. Yamamoto changes so much on the team as well. Pretty fun to watch when everyone is rolling along. Wonder how that McDavid guy will fit in.
A lot of Oilers fans on this site probably wont like this next comment of mine but I don't care. I am not an Ethan Bear fan. I dont know what it is. I am not sure if it's the fact he's paired with Nurse or what it is, but it seems like he's on the ice A LOT when the Oilers are scored on. He's supposedly the next defensive stalwarth coming up the pipe for the Oilers but I am just not excited about him. I get it, he's young and still learning, but my early impressions aren't great. I hope he eventually proves me wrong, but for right now, I am not a big fan of his game.

I don't think you're too far off. Offensively he is creative and he does some thing well on the powerplay. But pairing him and Nurse together is not good. Nurse has been a petty big let down for me this year as well, and not quite the guy I'd like paired alongside a rookie on the blue line.
I saw Athanasiou got under 10 minutes ice time last night - injured or does he just suck at defense enough that the coach didn't want him?
I own him, am cautiously optimistic, but also contending for a championship and past my trade deadline, so dropping him is a possibility.

In a tight game where you're getting outplayed with a playoff spot on the line, Athanasiou is a defensive liability until he shows he's not. It's looking like he's going to have to earn that spot beside Connor and it will be earned in his own zone, not on the scoresheet. As it should be as Connor has shown he can score with pretty much anyone.

11 penalties between the two teams and he doesn't get PP or PK time, and it was a close game where the team as getting outplayed for most of the night. Tyler Ennis had similar ice time.
He's going to need to figure out how to play smarter for sure though. Tippett seems to be able to squeeze a lot out of players so we'll see what happens.
I agree. Defense is a tough position in the NHL and we are leaning hard on a 25-year old and a 22-year old rookie. Most NHL dmen don't really figure the game out until their late 20s. There's still lots of time for these players to develop into legitimate top-pairing dmen. All things considered, these guys are playing 25-30 mins a night and giving us the minutes we need. What they've been able to accomplish this season has exceeded my expectations.
Our defense isn't perfect, but with Nurse, Bear, Klefbom, and Larsson, I think it will be "good enough" to win more games than we lose. If our forwards keep it up, and the goal-tending remains adequate, I'm optimistic we can make some noise in the playoffs.
