If you ever have spare time when an Oilers game isn’t on, watch a Habs game on TSN. I don’t think there’s a blunter colour commentator than Craig Button. Both Evan Bouchard and Stuart Skinner needed that Overtime win more than anybody else in Edmonton. Skinner hadn’t won a game in a month, has been […]
