[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

It’s a happy group. I think we like winning. But at the same time, it’s a long season here and there are going to be points of adversity.
It’s good to use this stretch here as an example of how we want to play.
- Chris Kreider

I feel like technically I’m playing the way I should be playing, but I want to cut down one goal per game.
My style, decision-making and technique feel good, but I know that there’s more there. I’m working on it.
- Henrik Lundqvist

This was Henrik's best game so far this year, there’s no doubt.
The difference was that Hank made those two breakaway saves, and when we had opportunities, we were able to capitalize.
- Alain Vigneault

[Irishguy42]

Don't take the Oilers lightly. They aren't scrubs.

 

[Crease]

Another good test for the team. Also, it's nice to see the Oilers relevant again. That's a franchise with great history.

 

[iamthewalrus]

New-twin-dad Talbot is going to own us tonight.

His dad power will overshadow McDonagh's one kid.

3-2 OTL

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Oilers are off to a good start. Should be fun. 7-6 Rangers.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

with all the offensive firepower between these two teams, its gonna be a 1-0 game.

Zibby w/ the GWG

 

[nevesis]

Can't wait to see McDavid in person finally. Wanted to last year but he broke his collar bone before the game at MSG.

Should be a great one, Talbot/Lundqvist, this is going to be epic.

Lets go

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

I feel like we always lose to EDM even when they sucked.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Don't take the Oilers lightly. They aren't scrubs.

Agreed. Their PK is at 90%. That is nuts.

 

[JohnC]

Who will Lucic flying elbow/board tonight?

 

[East Coast Bias]

Who will Lucic flying elbow/board tonight?

Oh it's 100% happening.

I'm gonna say Vesey.

 

[DudMan28]

Oh it's 100% happening.

I'm gonna say Vesey.

Agreed. He had a great career while it lasted. RIP.


In all seriousness, should be a fun game. I think our depth prevails. We should expose some of their bottom lines/pairs.

We keep McDavid to a hat trick, and we win 4-3.

 

[Made Dan]

Excited to get to this one. Been at more Islander games as of late. Hope Connor is a no-show, but excited to see him nonetheless.

 

[silverfish]

Speed vs. Speed

Should be fun

 

[Made Dan]

Speed vs. Speed

Should be fun

Are the Oilers overachieving in a big way this year, or what?

 

[Cassano]

Only way to stop McDavid is with holding him and having a center mark him all game. Even then, he'll get a few breakaways a game. Should be a fun one.

 

[Irishguy42]

This will be Talbot's first game against us.

 

[Kakko]

Glue our McD to their McD

 

[Irishguy42]

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

This will be Talbot's first game against us.

He's had a good year so far. Glad to see him as a starter.

 

[RGY]

Agreed. Their PK is at 90%. That is nuts.

Blues PK had given up just 2 goals before facing us.

Lets do the same to edomonton

 

[Lion Hound]

Interested in seeing what lines will be matched up tonight.

Should be a really fun game to watch. Two clubs that can really skate.

 

[LieutenantLackluster]

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say what a piece of **** Milan Lucic is.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Can't wait to see McDavid in person finally. Wanted to last year but he broke his collar bone before the game at MSG.

Should be a great one, Talbot/Lundqvist, this is going to be epic.

Lets go

Can't wait to see the completely sane reactions to this if we lose!

 

[Anthony5967]

Here we go, be prepared for a NYR to be run to hailllll tonight by Lucic or Maroon. I would have McDonagh-Skjei paired together tonight against McDavid too.
