Pre-Game Talk: Game XIV: Strome @ Eberle 5:00 p.m. SNOIL

[bone]

Looking at Oiler's trends so far this year. They've yet to win 2 straight, nor have they stopped any losing streak at less than 2. Seems to me guaranteed loss night. Best you can hope for is a loser point.

 

[Aerrol]

Just win, f***s sake lol.

 

[McShogun99]

The worst possible outcome is Eberle and Barzal lighting us up then immediately after the game PC announces a 3 way trade that sends RNH to NYI, Khairi to LV and we get back MDC and G.Reinhart.

 

[Gord]

to change it up, I'll say what ticked me off last year when someone would say it every game..
maybe it was just waiting for me to do it.

"5 point night tonight for McDavid. he's due and I can feel it. this is the night!"

 

[harpoon]

Hohoho. Prepare to be embarrassed. How many more losses untill that clown is gone? #firechiaturd

HoHoHo? No matter how poorly the team is doing, this is still the Oilers board. I don't necessarily mind your repetitive #chiaturd shtick but no f***ing way you should be here posting hohoho.

Try to think a little bit about the rest of the board - the fans here to support the team - before posting. Please and thank you.

Have a feeling the boys will play well tonight

Eberle scores but the Oilers take the game 4-2

You spelled Chiarelli wrong.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Greiss is 3-2-1 with a 3.75 GAA and sub .900 save percentage so far this season, plus the Isles are due for a regulation home loss.
If they can set the tone early and not give up the first goal, I think they'll set themselves up nicely if they can get to Greiss.

 

[Mav3rick07]

Eberle will score three .


5-1 Islanders

Slepeshev with the lone Oiler goal.

 

[YakDavid]

Seems like some posters here want to lose and like having the team not playing to the level we expect. They have players they don't like for reasons and can't compliment them.

 

[McClelland]

The turnaround is close, 5-2 Oilers, Strome with a hatty, Sleepy and Drai 1 each, McD 3 generational assists!

Or everyone is just very disheartened by the terrible start and its more of a automatic loss until they start proving us wrong. It just hurts less that way.

I haven't bought tickets for the "fire Chiarelli" train yet, but his next trade may change that-lol.

 

[RandomGuy79]

Oilers will lose 9-1 while McDavid storms off the ice demanding a trade.

Am I doing it right?

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Im excited for Cap Space to show us how great he is.

The ironic thing is that the cap space was so that we could add at the deadline, but is also the very reason we won't be in a position to need to add. Because we won't be in the playoff picture.

Less to complain about if they win, so it's better when they lose.

Current HF summed up in one post.

Wow...a reasonable post. I agree with you.

The hive mind influence is strong though and I feel obligated to say that you have a lot of nerve not giving up on the team entirely by predicting a devastating loss and an Eberle hattrick.
What board do you think you're on?

 

[Oildrum]

If we lose tonight and Eberle scores I expect full a blown melt down. Could be worse than the 2006 Whyte Ave riots.

 

[guymez]

Oilers will lose 9-1 while McDavid storms off the ice demanding a trade.

No.
You missed the Eberle hattrick.

 

[Lord Quas]

Big win needed tonight ~ the team is good enough to make it look easy, but I don’t care how, just win!

Everyone is a prognosticator on this board. Everyone has 20/20 hindsight and could have made the team better, without knowing all the facts. Whatever, the sorry ass fire/trade hashtag bs is old and stale. Saying a player/coach/gm needs to better, has x, y, & z as areas of concern, or has completely lost his game is fine. There’s threads for that. Carrying the narrative into the gdts is past boring.

 

[frag2]

I predict Oilers win 5-1 because I got that while playing NHL 18 on sim last night lol
I got 4-0 L against Wings so the game can predict.

I think

The big if is the setting the tone early and getting the first goal. We have trailed for the majority of the season in games and I think we are easily one of the worst first period teams.
IF Talbot stands on his head in the first we have a chance.

 

[BlackDogg]

eberle scores 5 for the Safeway score to win...

Oh wait....

Nah there's a reason why there's 3x as many posts in PGT of a loss as there is a win. Fans love to bitch and complain and be able to say I told you so, or pretend they could build a better club.
