GDT: Game 82: Oilers @ Avs - 7:30 PM - SN1

[Porkleaker]

Did anyone hear any insiders mention what the possible dates/times Oilers playoffs will be starting?

From what I'm seeing, Leafs and other teams already start playing Saturday....I hope we get Sunday then....jesus.

Who do we think gets the night off to rest? McDavid, Draisaitl, Ekholm, Kane, and maybe a few others?

Mail this one in. Don’t get injured, anyone. Who cares

@alphahelix

If you are (and I am pretty sure that you are) arguing for the notion that people should get jobs based strictly on merit (and nothing else) then I completely agree with you.
Thats really the only way we can ensure a quality outcome in any industry.

Unfortunately now days it seems like it’s more about who you know, and not what you know.

 

[brentashton]

Game so important, so much at stake, the winner gets a multicolored beachball.

I might catch bits of this but mostly just to see how the Replacements do. I hope theres as many as possible and as many regulars out of the lineup as possible.

My Sarcasm-o-matic meter says bullshit.

 

[Porkleaker]

I have three Avs on the final day of fantasy championship, including Mac, so I’m not upset.

That's just gross, I hope they pull a Matthews.

If we make it to the WCF we might really regret this. But it’s the right move, can’t look at round 3 when we’ve got a tough round 1 ahead.

There's nothing to gain here though. Guess they hate naps.

No regrets.

 

[sepHF]

Holy crap

MacKinnon about to catch Kucherov in the scoring race

 

[Mr Positive]

I guess if you want to see a send off for Erne and Gagner this is your game.

Also it would be interesting to see what Holloway and Broberg do. I assume Lavoie is also playing

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Lots of empty seats in Calgary tonight.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Twitter fans are going crazy over this AHAHAHHAAH. They literally believe the team that has their full roster in tonight wins the Cup.

HAHAHAHA

 

[Oilers in NS]

Good.

Vegas and LA both play tonight and I'd imagine they are dressing full lineups.

Lets hope for injuries to Vegas. Will Bettman let them go trade for some players from teams already eliminated?

I'm all up for resting our players. I seen McDavid get cross checked the other night by the bench

HAHAHAHA

I swear the people on Twitter don't even watch hockey

 

[bellagiobob]

That's just gross, I hope they pull a Matthews.

I also have three Oilers. Pretty much the perfect combo this year.

Lots of empty seats in Calgary tonight.

Imagine paying to watch the flames lmao

That’s for you @BudBundy !

 

[yukoner88]

50 would be a nice, round number

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

What a lineup hahaha
Must miss game

 

[oobga]

Avs fans getting their moneys worth tonight.

 

[Porkleaker]

Imagine paying to watch the flames lmao

It's like going to the dentist, but somehow worse.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

In some ways it's a meaningless game...but if you had told me that this is where we'd be after the 2-9-1 tire fire to start the season, I would've labeled you as delusional as a Leafs fan.

Looking forward to playoffs in just a few days!

 

[Oilslick941611]

Gene, do even have a real crossword in front of you?

 

[dssource]

The crazy roller-coaster regular season ends tonight.

I also think about if the oilers had gone 8-8 instead of 16 in a row we would be a point ahead of the Wild and mathematically eliminated.
Nice that we didn’t have to clench our asses for the last half of the season and can rest guys.
