GDT: Game #17 Oilers (12-4-0) host the Hawks (5-9-2) 8pm MT

[Czechboy]

I've predicted a win for every single game of the season so far. I don't know about this one. I thought the Hawks would be awesome this season. They started awful but have won 4 in a row and Seth Jones is starting to play well.

Tough call...

I'm curious about D pairings.. do they split up Keith-Ceci which has been our most consistent thing (outside of McDrai being unstoappable) all season?

Thrilled for Broberg and hope he sticks!

I'd go:

Keith-Ceci
Bro - Barrie
Russel - Bouch


I'd also essentially play them evenly at even strength. Then special teams would be the only difference in minutes. Keep rolling them at 5 vs 5.

I still say we outscore our problems and win. 5-4. I'd start Koski to keep him in the loop.

Hockey Fights Cancer night in Edmonton.

Im taking a buddy whose mom has had multiple bouts with cancer. She has it yet again and is declining treatment as she can’t take anymore chemotherapy.

My father in law lost his battle in May.

A win tonight would lift a lot of spirits, even if temporarily.

I think it’ll be a blowout either way.

The team will either come together to play well in Nurses absence or the team will heavily struggle. 5-0 game one way or another.

Skinners performance last game plus Chicago not being good gave me pause going the other way. Add the home town Saturday night hype advantage. I’m going Oilers blowing out all day long and it’s my SHOE IN OF THE WEEK

 

[Marty McSurly]

I hope they go with:

Keith-Bouchard (oldest D pairing in the league?)
Broberg-Ceci
Russel-Barrie

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Play Keith against Kane every ES shift that you can. He should know Patty's tendencies better than anyone (and vice versa).

 

[GingerJesus28]

I can't believe I'm saying this

But we've yet to see McDavids true A+ game where he's just a f***ing menace all night long and gets like 5P.

Leon has had his A+ game once or twice already.

Im kinda feeling that tonight. 6-2 Oilers.

 

[Anarchism]

Just hope we can hold the shots against to 35 or less. Gives Skinner a chance in front of this D and wobbly bottom 6.
But im not really expecting it as the boys will want to break out after having to play to defensively to beat the Jets.
So Draw lots of penalties?

I wonder if anyone has invited Fleury for a tour of the locker room

Haha was wondering that myself.

Cancer runs through my family. My mother has said that she most likely would not go through what she has again if it comes back. Chemo is not pretty to have to go through. I've dealt with skin cancer more than once already myself.
Enjoy the game and hopefully the boys come out on top.

Let's see how the team responds to the injuries. Looking for another strong start from Skinner. Should be an entertaining game.

I hope for a better team effort defensively. We have weathered injuries like this in the past. I was surprised how well we did without Connor a few years ago when the DRY line became unstoppable.

8-6 Oil!! gonna be wild.

 

[Black Gold Extractor]

Lost an aunt to cancer when I was very young. F*ck cancer.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Lets hope not. I want to drop that GAA.

8-6 Oil!! gonna be wild.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Weird series of games against teams that beat us in playoffs. Carolina must be next. After last nights Elks game I feel like sports world is trolling us.

Unfortunately I didn’t see it last night but that doesn’t surprise me at all.

"This game is blacked out in your region"

Two Canadian teams playing and because of rights issues Canadians can't even watch. I was interested in watching anything but the football game and I kind of hate basketball..

 

[Ruok]

Prediction: Duncan Keith with the Gordy Howe Hatrick. Somehow he will dangle Seth Jones on the goal. Get an assist for the Bison King. And then drop the mitts with Toews after laying a huge hip check on Kane.

 

[KlefDown]

LETS GO OILERS

 

[Czechboy]

Skinner starts... Now show me th D pairs!

 

[Stoneman89]

Hawks playing a lot better after a brutal start. They still have some players to be concerned about.

 

[CageRage]

Not a big fan of the infinite scroll through team stats on GDT pages. Would rather stick to lineups and jokes/memes.

Oilers win this one 6-3.

 

[duul]

So, are we betting the over tonight?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Ooof. Khaira in the second line?

I think he is playing on the 3rd line
