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

[nexttothemoon]

Gee did an Av injure himself? That's too bad.

 

[CupofOil]

Uh, it's 1-0 Ducks. I don't know how to feel, am kind of hoping for Vegas

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Pickard is a solid goaltender.

 

[oobga]

Had no idea Parise was on the Avs. 21 years since we skillfully avoided any good player in one of the most stacked 1st rounds ever.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Who are you kidding, the Kings will lose on purpose tonight

I don’t think so. That division is death.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Uh, it's 1-0 Ducks. I don't know how to feel, am kind of hoping for Vegas

The Kings are losing too.

 

[CupofOil]

Uh and the Kings are losing 1-0 as well. Do these teams just not want to play the Oilers? They do realize that Dallas is their "prize" if they lose, right?

 

[Porkleaker]

I don’t think so. That division is death.

They'll just both start scoring on their own nets.

Prisoner's dilemma playing out in real life.

Playoff shape activated

Is this the Fred Skinner call up from ECHL. I'm not watching, asking for a friend.

 

[Cloned]

lol McD with the 1000000 yard stare

 

[Captain Fantastic]

LMAO ...Connor is frozen

Yeah, it was Fred in the first period. Seriously though, short leash in the playoffs. I have confidence in PIckard.

 

[Porkleaker]

LMAO ...Connor is frozen

Did you try turning him off and on again? ew sorry. lol

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Did you try turning him off and on again? ew sorry. lol

Looked like he saw Medusa.

New owner in Utah just had a short interview on espn. Wearing a hoodie, eyes suspiciously red, chapped lips and saying ‘like’ in every sentence.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Lmao Flames blew a shutout with 9 seconds left.

 

[tiger_80]

LA and Vegas are both losing to bottom-feeders. Desperate to avoid the meeting with the Kuchy-chasing McDavid and the Odmenton OIlers.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

NCAA better than CHL leagues?

It’s a brave new world

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Holy crap. He's overpaid. We get it dude but you do know that the Seth Jones contract, in that summer, set the market??

It's the reasone why he got that much.

If that f***ing moron hadn't got that much money, Nurse would've gotten 7-7.5 max.

This was Nurse's agents fault and not his. He didn't demand 9.25 mill lmao


They've played together for 2-3 weeks... Vinny was on that pair before

A player's agent works for the player. It is the player who signs a contract. I don't begrudge players maximizing their value with short, professional careers. It's disappointing somewhat that Nurse didn't follow his captain's lead by taking less than he could have to help stock this team around him. Or Draisaitl signing for a fair market contract that he immediately killed into becoming a value deal. Nurse chose to grab it all.

But the issue is performance. He's still a high event player who can be amazing and braindead on the same shift. When he plays with a simple, structured game he can be excellent for long stretches. When he drifts into impulsive, risky decision making it is often costly to his team. Love a guy with high motor that wants to be a difference maker. But trouble in River City when the wires cross and he compromises his team's defending.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Knights tied the game.

 

[K1984]

Ah, fans booing when a d man holds the puck behind the net waiting for a line change.

My personal favorite under the radar indicator of a dumbass fanbase that doesn’t know what they’re watching.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Drouin out of the game?

 

[Wreckus]

LA just tied it up

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Knights tied the game.

And so do the Kings.
