I'm actually looking forward to an oilers game. Damn you Chia for acquiring these new guys along with good ol McDavid.

I'm praying for a win but knowing the Oilers, they will **** the bed this game following a great performance and proceed to lose the next 4 in a row. Please prove me wrong, Oilers.

My personal hope for the Oilers is that we finish at least 9 pts out of a playoff spot when it's all said and done. Right now, we're 13 pts behind Minny.

Travelling b2b after a high intensity game?

The old oilers never show up for these type of games... Let's see if the new Oilers show up. lol.

Also,

McDavid.

Really hope we don't make Talbot play again. Goalies are horrible on the back end of a back to back.
Especially considering all the shots he faced.

Talbot has often actually been better on the second game of a back to back. It's odd

I think we'll see LB.

:popcorn:

I'm really excited for tomorrow.

It's been a great day. Maroon debut, the return of Big Bo to the Bake, and the physically dominat win.

It's been a very long time since the words 'physically dominant win' were used with the oilers. It's very refreshing. Pardy looks like a better version of Gryba. Just as physical but better offensive instincts, way better passing. I like what I've seen so far, hope he keeps it up. I think yak had another very good game. Great in our own end, both backchecking and in coverage. He finished a lot of checks as well. He seems to fit alongside mcdavid better than eberle, who looked a little lost and slow in transition tonight.

Maroon was a beast! As well as showing off the good hands everyone was talking about. I think oilers let cracknell go. Seemed very slow to me.

It's gonna be so interesting to see what they do when nuge comes back. So many options.

Excited for a game against a lowly opponent with a game the night before?

Please let there be a twist in this script, Chia.

They could really show how far they're coming along with a win tonight.

This game has piss poor oiler effort written all over it.

They normally fail these. A win tonight would be refreshing.

Yep, normally this is the inevitable let down game. Can see it coming from a mile away.

You would have to hope with our skill guys getting relatively limited ice last night due to all the penalties that they would be fresher for tonight. Except Connor, you play the s**t out of that kid no matter what.
