At least they got three shots off this time, progress I guess.

As soon as it goes to shoot out I feel like turning it off, makes me cringe every time. Tkachuk has been awesome, 4 for 5 this year, with that crazy fast release but the rest of the team.... Monahan is hit or miss, Johnny was embarrassing with that silly little flip over the sprawled goalie (imo, others thought it was fantastic but I just thought it was weak)....maybe try Backlund in there sometime. And Frolik when he comes back. Heck, maybe even let Dougie Hamilton have a go, kid has a potful of game winners already!!
Dang, it sucks to lose to the Oilers. 4 OT/SO losses in a row hurts, even if they do pick up the point.
