*recognizing it's 'early days'*
Let me begin with an admittance of my admiration of Horvat's play; he continues to be one of the best all-round players out there.
As for the Oilers, lazy + fundamentally poor hockey and a lot of mixing things up (which I expect this time of the year) to see what might click.
#2 - one of his worst games in recent memory with 3 brutal giveaways, including a GA.
#97 - such confusing play by him overall. Not shooting more than a few times in the slot. Overthinking. His inability to be clutch continues to perplex. No goals through 4.
#29 - still trying to find it.
#25 - seemed totally checked out tonight other than his one great defensive stick.
#88 - all over the place and getting into it.
#49 - looks disjointed out there.
#74 - kept us in it and would have loved one more save, but honestly, is the reason we had a chance.
#XX - there were A LOT of passengers on tonight's bus.
Hits/turnovers/bad penalties/lack of kill-zone finish kinda tell the story.
