GDT: Connor McDavid and the Avalanche Past Noon

[94 Oil Drops]

Just got back from seeing Avatar 2. It was kinda disappointing tbh. I expect more of the same tomorrow. Its late now but I feel like making the GDT for some reason. This game starts stupid early and making a pre game thread is utterly pointless... So here we go.

An Avalanche is coming and no Karlsson, or Chychrun, or P. Kane is coming to rescue us. Not yet anyway. Therefore:

Enjoy! (or not.)

Home matinee + Avalanche = bad loss

Now watch us win 6-0 lol

Edit: I guess it’s a road game

Thanks for the GDT @94 Oil Drops .

Hopefully you‘re proven wrong (which I’m confident you’ll be happy with)

Some memes & GIFs for good luck and health tomorrow

It's actually an away game. Gary has us on another brilliant one game road trip, then hustle back to play Philly, then hit the road again. Outstanding schedule making. Anyhow, the boys need to pick it up. Enough talent on this team without acquisitions to be much higher in the standings than they are. Time to put on their big boy pants, tough part of the schedule is here.

Needless to say, a must win.

Every team in front of the Oilers (and behind) winning last night. This is definitely no time for a slump.

Colorado played yesterday in St. Louis. No excuses. Team needs to put together some wins.

Makar took another blow to the noggin and didn't return during the third period. Marchenko was trying to get around him and essentially punched him in the head. With his recent head traumas the last couple weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if he'd a late scratch tomorrow morning.

Hate to hear that. The kid is a fantastic player and appears to be a real good person. I hope he gets through this ok.

I'm mistaken, he did return late in the third. But then again, he returned in the game where Jeff Carter hit him and didn't play following. Heads are tricksy.

A win will give us 69 points.. js.

Team is hit hard by the flu bug. PK is miserable. D have forgotten how to D again and can’t make a 5 foot pass. Idiot coach has us playing the long chip and chase again which is utterly useless. Goaltending back to letting in 2 shit goals per game. December Drai has shown up in the stretch run. PJ is still on this team. Derek freaking Ryan has been our best 2 way threat for the past 10 games.

Oilers win 6-4.

Klim Kostin will also not return to the lineup Sunday. The illness that kept him out of Friday’s game also kept him off Saturday’s flight to Colorado. That is really too bad. After a bit of a quiet spell Kostin was back to being very effective against the Red Wings, one of his best games in a couple weeks. But it is what it is, and the Oilers need a temporary replacement for him.

Oilers re-called Devin Shore Saturday. This will qualify as an emergency callup, as the club had to play short-handed Friday due to illness. Yes, there are numerous players to choose from in Bakersfield. Devin Shore is a veteran who you know what you can expect from. But he also fits the bill salary-wise for that rule (a player under $850) which isn’t just handy…it’s essential. Dylan Holloway makes too much to qualify (and is nicked up now, anyway). And Vincent Desharnais is still sick.

Good thing the Oilers banked all those wins against the bottom 10 teams to give them a cushion.

Except they didn't and it's a pin a cushion they're sitting on.

This joke is made in bad taste on the whole...

Or maybe I am reading it wrong and you meant the other

 

[ZJuice]

It’s late enough that Nuge has time for a little Nuge nap before the warm ups. I expect a big game from him.

Sad to hear no Big V and about Holloway’s apparent upper body injury. Hard to tell if it’s long term or just a stinger from the clip.

Who gets the start in net? I think Campbell gives us a better chance, but we need to get Skinner going

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Find a way.

I think Skinner might still have the flu bug.

Our frustrations are valid with this team, but I think the group is sicker than we might realize

Me2, but I hope he can’t play today

For sure. Kane, Draisaitl, PJ, VD, Skinner, and Kostin are or have been sick and this bug takes some time to recover from. We don’t know who else has the flu. Probably many others are battling it.

Dumb question
Do they have to announce if it’s Covid related anymore?
