GDT: Game 3: Edmonton Oilers vs. LA Kings: Here Come the Oilers! (7:30 on TSN)

[Cloned]

Change of pace prediction:

Oilers dominate start to finish - win 4-1.

Change of pace prediction:

Oilers dominate start to finish - win 4-1.

I really hope so. If we could just get the first goal and build off that momentum and keep it going the rest of the game, that'd make it a fun one to watch.

4-2 Oil

Yakupov scores another, Hemsky, Eberle, and Horcoff(empty netter) also scores

 

[Perfect_Drug]

I predict a loss. But the effort will be there.

Awesome GDT

I call dibs on the Flames GDT if no one minds

Kings are about to go 0-4-0 to start the season!

 

[Chooch]

I don't like our chances against a Kings team that's going to desperately try to rebound their season. If we can make them go 0-4 i'd be surprised.

 

[Diamondillium]

Very afraid on this one. Hopefully the guys can step up to the plate and hold their ground against a very solid and eager Kings team.

 

[NeverForget06]

BIG game for both teams. The kings are hungry for a win and they will come out hard. But I feel like the oil are gonna come out firing. Theyve gotten out all there nerves and emotions during the first game and now they're gonna shine. 6-3 oilers this time! Yakupov and Hemsky will be magic. Dubnyk will come back in a big way. Very excited for this game, would love to see the oil come out and blow the roof off the place.



GO] GO

Nice looking GDT! , I have a feeling it will be a close one 4-3 Kings in OT, Hopefully Potter is out, Wouldn't mind Whitney sitting also...The have both been horrible so far.

Horcoff empty netter?
Let's not go too crazy here

 

[Gobo]

Really hoping for Fistric in.

 

[OilerNut*]

Is Hemsky really our PIM leader?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I forgot the GDT prefix, that's not bad luck is it?

It's there now

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

I'm calling a loss tonight guys In attendance for this one! Planning on buying a new jersey at 40% off and hopefully winning some cool prizes. LET'S GO OILERS!

 

[Little Psycho]

Awesome GDT

I call dibs on the Flames GDT if no one minds

Kings are about to go 0-4-0 to start the season!

If we lose, it'll be 0-3-0. Have played against the Hawks and Avs.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Doughty (Kopitar, Brown)
Lewis (Voynov, Drewiske)
Brown (Muzzin, Doughty)
Voynov (Lewis)

Eberle (Yakupov)
Smyth (Horcoff, Petrell)

Kings 4 Oilers 2

 

[TheBusDriver]

Kings in OT. 4-3

 

[Soli]

Isn't Kopitar injured?

 

[T-Funk]

Isn't Kopitar injured?

Back in business now.

 

[thadd]

Why the hell isn't Fistric in the line-up? It's bad enough that Eager is out.

 

[Horseradish]

I'd be pretty surprised if Hordi and Fistric aren't in the lineup tonight. That's one BIG Kings team.

The problem is who you take out on forward, in my opinion.

Petrell and Belanger have dominated on the PK in 5/6 periods, so it would be foolish to take Petrell out in favour of Hordi.

MPS had one of the few solid overall games for the Oilers against SJS, so it'd be discouraging to yank him.

And I suppose that leaves Hartikainen. I don't think Hartikainen's really done anything to deserve staying in the lineup, but he's much more usable than Hordichuk (ie, Hordi would struggle horribly on a line with Smytty and Horc, and he defs can't be used in front of the net on the PP).

I guess....

If it were my call, take out Whitney, replace him with Fistric.
Take out Harti and replace him with Hordi.

I forgot the GDT prefix, that's not bad luck is it?

Last time that happened was June 19th, 2006.

 

[dem]

SOMEBODY has to lose their spot to Fistric after that last game.

Cmon now

 

[nabob]

Is Hemsky really our PIM leader?

Yakupov's fault.

 

[mkwong268]

We have yet to play with a lead this season. I hope we can come out strong and take an early lead!
