GDT: Around the League 2023-24 Volume 4: Stretch Drive Edition

[Frank the Tank]

The difference between the Oilers potential opponents is that while both Vegas and LA suck tonight, Vegas has Pietrangelo, Stone, Hanifin, Carrier, Mantha, and Stephenson coming back for the playoffs.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Can never count out teams with nothing to lose.

 

[Mr Positive]

4 goals on 13 shots

Feels like a dive

 

[BlackDogg]

They'd rather play Dallas?

They are purposely flubbing and cycling.

The Blackhawks had 7 shots through 2 periods. And then the Vegas game ended during the Kings/Hawks intermission.

 

[McOilers97]

Don't forget what we did last night...

Those teams are playing for positioning. The Oilers last night played a pretty low effort, “don’t get injured” type of game.

 

[Gnome17]

Who the hell is 72 on Hawks. Looks gigantic.

 

[ManofSteel55]

They'd rather fly to Dallas to get bombed than Edmonton I guess.

then best to eliminate them early

We beat them 2 years in a row. We give them PTSD I guess

 

[BlackDogg]

They won't shoot lol

 

[Navx94]

There’s no way LA would rather go thru DAL/COL/WPG than EDM/VAN/NSH ..

Vlasic

 

[Fourier]

That Vatrano EN goal just cost me second place in my hockey pool. Then I go away for a few minutes only to come back and find LA has imploded. Hockey can be cruel.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

LA isn’t throwing shit. No one wants to purposely go through Dallas and then Avs/Jets.

They just stink.

 

[BlackDogg]

Throw Chicago some beers to score an own goal in last minute.

 

[Frank the Tank]

then best to eliminate them early

At least 4/6 of those players would be back for Game 1.

 

[BlackDogg]

Vlasic

He's a dilly of a pickle.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

At least 4/6 of those players would be back for Game 1.

and? should we be scared?

Yeah, people are off their rockers if they think these two teams are REMOTELY the same. Vegas is about to get a LOT better (magically, almost as if they planned it that way in fact....), and LA is going to continue to not be very good. When we lose to Vegas in the first round, I wonder what people will same about this Chicago/LA then?

 

[Mr Positive]

Maybe the Oilers are the truly scary team!

 

[KCC]

Vegas hasn't been much better. They've barely been .500 since like Christmas if I recall. lol. The big this is if Vegas can get everyone on the same page in time as they certainly on paper are even better than last year.

 

[McJadeddog]

and? should we be scared?

Well, yeah, kinda. Maybe not scared per say, but they are the defending champs and are about to get back their second best forward and best defender. So yeah, that matters a LOT.

 

[ManofSteel55]

They know they are going to lose regardless and would rather fly domestic to Dallas I guess.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

The kings are clearly tanking. This is so obvious lmao
