GDT: #64 | 'Reverse Reverse Jinx' | Oilers @ Golden Knights | Feb 26th 8:30 PM | SNW

[Llamamoto]

In light of recent events, I have decided to take a crack at changing our luck. @Cloned's attempt to incorporate the superfriends was mildly successful, until @ConnorMcMullet ruined the streak, getting Yamamoto injured and ultimately resulting in a loss.

Throughout the course of the season, different attempts have been made to please the 'hockey gods'. The weak GDT makers act overly humble, predicting losses and complaining about our team. The arrogant ones, such as @ConnorMcMullet, praise our team, through the use of titles such as 'an era of new depth'. These half-hearted attempts are just that - half-hearted, and thus weak.

The key to a GDT is to overpower the hockey gods. To overload their jinx sensors until they are confused. We will reverse psychology them, resulting in a sure win. Because that's what's going to happen: A sure win. It won't be close. McDavid and Draisaitl will set records for the most points in a single game. Athanasiou will reinvent the definition of speed. Kosko will get a shutout. The ATL scores will be perfect. The Knights will be crushed under the crippling power of this GDT. And in honour of @Cloned's relatively successful superhero GDT's, I will post a pic of the Reverse Flash, the master of reverse psychology himself.

Projected Lines:

Athanasiou - McDavid - Ennis
Nuge - Draisaitl - Chiasson
Granlund - Sheahan - Archibald
Khaira - Haas - Russell

Nurse - Bear
Jones - Larsson
Lagesson - Green

Go Ennis!

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

A reverse-reverse jinx is just a jinx.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

They blew the easy game so of course they'll win the hard game.

 

[booyakasha]

All the signs say we should get an ass whoopin', means we win tonight.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Are Yamamoto and Klefbom back yet?

 

[Llamamoto]

A reverse-reverse jinx is just a jinx.

You're forgetting the part where the overwhelming arrogance confuses the hockey gods to the point that they don't know what to do.

 

[McJesusSaves97]

Hopefully we come out of the tunnel ready to play from the start of the game...it may help a lil

 

[GMofOilers]

Drai point lead down to 12 on McDavid already with 19 to play.

Could see this shrink to 10 tonight, I still think he passes him by seasons end, just to dam good.

 

[duul]

Biggest game of the year. That's all that needs to be said.

 

[BertMcDrai]

Go !!!

 

[Dynamic]

They looked like yesterday they were trying to conserve energy. Nobody was particularity sharp and if we play with the same amount of detail Vegas will blow us out.

But the oilers doing seem to bring it this year in important games and even have won some b2b’s. I think they win tonight.

 

[fuswald]

The lineup is much better. Archibald and Sheahan together.
Ennis is the Yamamoto of the first line (or was Yamamoto the Ennis of the second line we just didn't know it)

They better be awake at the puck drop this time! No periods off.

 

[McOvechking]

Our last Kassian-less game I believe. We need him back in the worst way.

Having Chase on Drai's line will do that. Such a useless plug, slow as molasses and as a result, causes both Drai and Nuge, both whom aren't known to be hard skaters, to play just as slow.

Then again, Drai and Nuge, without Yamo, always played this slow ass nonchalant game. Don't understand how they only skate hard when lined with Yamo [or McDavid] but nobody else. Way to set an example for everyone else.

 

[TKB21]

Need this game in the worst way. Things are getting tighter and we need to take advantage of our game in hand

I agree. Chiasson is so bad lol Not sure how he did what he did last year.

 

[TrueTT]

Alright, new bandwagoner here. Do me proud, Oilers.

When Yamamoto gets back that top-6 is going to be dynamite.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Also going to miss this one.

Eastern time sucks for west games yo. RIP the journalists

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Just win this one in regulation please... Gets us a 3 win lead in the tiebreaker and puts us in first in the division for now

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Play a full 60. Get solid goaltending. Smart plays on D. Pucks in deep. Keep the feet moving. Go hard on short shifts. Stay out of the box. Insert more hockey idioms here —->___________

Rest and reinforcements on the way boys. No excuses.

5-3 Oilers in regulation. McDavid with 2 points. Leon with 3. Green gets his first point. Another goal from AA. Nurse with a goal. Koskinen solid but unspectacular.

 

[KlefDown]

we can't even take Khaira out
thank god this is over after tonight with the return of Kass but chances are Granlund just goes down and Khaira still stays in the lineup

 

[Satire]

Going to be a tough game to win. Team will need to go super nova.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

I think that they will play better now that the experienced Oilers and newbie Oilers have figured each other out. The team looked good by the end of the night when the Cali refs hosed us allowing the Ducks to win. Vegas is a way better team than the Ducks though. We can't afford to take our foot off the gas tonight.

Arg I hate having to work when a big game like this is on! I'm going to have to shut my phone off to prevent me from getting distracted. I need a new job. lol
