GDT: #67 | Canucks @ Oilers | "Playoffs Just A Dream?" | Mar 7 | 7:00 PM | SN-W

[CantHaveTkachev]

Tonight's the night Reider almost scores a goal

 

[Oilers in NS]

Looking for this tonight:

Dallas wins against Colorado
Minny loses against Tampa Bay
Arizona loses against Calgary

Edmonton wins against Vancouver

= 5 points back of wild card with a game in hand (3 points)

I like your thinking and we do have a game against one of the teams we r chasing. Minn has a tough schedule

We play Colorado, Arizona and Dallas. All could end up being the difference in making the playoffs or not. We just need to win tonight and I think fans will start getting excited again and get behind this last minute push the Oilers seem to be putting together!

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Tonight we will witness the greatest effort ever put forth by the Edmonton Oilers. It will change mankind forever. People will write songs about it...

 

[Arpeggio]

This is the biggest game of the year. Tampa better take care of business against Minny.

 

[Oildrum]

This is the biggest game of the year. Tampa better take care of business against Minny.

Tampa has only lost 12 games in regulation this year... We hit 12 regulation losses over 3 months ago (Dec 3). Unreal.

King Kong Bundy dead.

Hillbilly Jim, Little Beaver & Haiti Kid vs. King Kong Bundy, Little Tokyo & Lord Littlebrook: WrestleMania III

The best part is when Jesse the Body tells Bundy to slam Little Beaver.

 

[ElysiumAB]

Team hasn't lost since the GDTs started looking like obituaries. Not for the team, but for actual dead people.

Was just reading Slapshot trivia, and I don't think I knew Paul Newman was dead (I must've at some point).

Interesting read:

The letter "e" occurs 97,397 times in the NHL Rule Book. Check for yourself by doing ctrl+f: NHL RULE BOOK

It's a pretty crazy coincidence actually. By my count, there have been 973 missed calls on #97 this year.

Math checks out

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I expect McDavid and Draisaitl to have a very good performance tonight. They are both really feeling it right now.

 

[CornKicker]

they should just kill the suspense and leon get 9 goals and mcdavid assists all of them tonight

 

[Rpenny]

If the oilers make the playoffs I will streak down jasper ave at noon the next day

I will give a hardy thumbs up from my office window (assuming it's a weekday)

That would be the best they each put up a 9-10 point game together.

It's about time hockey replaced this as its spiritual anthem.

 

[Oilhawks]

It's about time hockey replaced this as its spiritual anthem.

Let’s gOoo! Let’s gOoo!

 

[Drivesaitl]

Home game against the Vancouver Canucks, first game back from a road trip.

In the Oilers days of lore everything suggests this will be another slow feel your way into the game performance by the Oilers after they are down 2-3 goals.

Then they play Toronto next.

This is another must win game.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

So math says that on their current pace this season:

• Draisaitl scores goal #50 in 12.57 games from now
• McDavid scores point #110 in 12.16 games from now
• Rieder scores his first goal...never
• Lucic is overdue for a fight (unless it's a fight with his confidence )
• Soli will change avatars when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet

 

[yzerman]

In the press box hopefully.

Or in the shower

 

[ElysiumAB]

I will give a hardy thumbs up from my office window (assuming it's a weekday)

Any hand gestures planned for if/when they're mathematically out of contention?

The shrug I guess? I don't know.

• Soli will change avatars when me **** turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet

He keeps downgrading his Avatar anyway. Maybe his sight is going due to old age. They can only show half their faces in an attempt to come close to his original full face beauty.

Oh well.

 

[ElysiumAB]

The shrug I guess? I don't know.

A true gentleman.

 

[Joey Moss]

I don't know about anyone else but I'd rather see us finish 5-7 than to be embarrassed in the first round.

 

[dssource]

I'm not looking ahead or to the other teams as right now the fate of this team is still in its own hands and we're not even at .500 yet. So let's just focus on this game and win this game tonight. This game features 2 teams that are both fighting for WC2. Let's see who wants it more!

GOilers!
