Draisaitl for the Hart trophy. 3 assists and +2 tonight. Without Drai this team is almost certainly outside of a playoff spot right now. Need to spread this narrative around far and wide -- it helps that it's a truthful narrative.
Game 32. Long post follows with base game statistics including some for the Boston Bruins. Read, don't read, up to you. These are BASE stats not detailed ones.

Surgery still postponed so here are some stats. Again, I can't watch the games. What follows is my opinion. Oilers start out slow and Stu lets one in just 1:07 into the game. Bruins add a late first period goal to make it 2-0 then the rest of the scoring is Edmonton. Hyman gets a goal in the 2nd and Connor ties it up with just 2:21 left in the 3rd to take us to OT where Ekholm gets the winner off of a nice pass by Nuge. Leon had his 7th consecutive multi-point night getting his 900th Career point in the process. Tight game that was sloppy in the first 20 by the Oilers then fine for the last 40. Take care all.
