Thanks. #Oilers needed 2nd level scoring support, now with no 97 or 29 they’re being forced to step up, so it’s a good thing as long as those two are alright.

That’s it #Oilers !! 97 to Draisatl power play goal 1-0. EDM coming off games where they gave up 6 and 7 goals.

According to ESPN, last night's 4-nation game averaged over 9.2 Million viewers!!!! It is the most-watched non-Olympic hockey game! Between US and Canada, there were 16.1 million viewers, almost as much as last year's Game 7 final (16.3)!!!
The crazy part is that this was a Thursday weekday game.
