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

[NegativeNelly]

I think the Oil will bitch slap Eberlazy and the Isles tonight.

Have Chiarelli take a Penalty shot against snow.

-chia skates in and takes a half clapper
-snow makes a showy glory save-flahes the glove.
-snow proceeds to sleughfoot chiarelli as he skates past even though he already made the save.
-chia goes headfirst into the boards as his mind is still processing what happened.
-chia dies.

This is all kinds of wrong.

Not least of which is that Snow didn't actually move his arms to make anything "showy", he was king of 4000 sqft chest protectors.

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.

Totally agree with this... Just be constructive and further the debate.

"Firing" these guys just reeks of "I wish I was paid like them" and, "I did pay my $75 ticket though that one time, so I should have a vote". It's beyond lame.

I tried to keep it in context with their dealings so far.

Eberle will be feeling the pressure to score tonight to show up his old team, and we all know how Eberle performs when he feels even the slightest bit of pressure.... like shit. I expect a win tonight.

 

[frag2]

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

Oh wait....

He'll cause 5 goals alright...into his own net.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Hey for those preparing Pitch-Forks, there's nothing at Rogers Place tonight, if they lose and you feel you need to "send a message"

 

[CycloneSweep]

He'll cause 5 goals alright...into his own net.

Then we still lose 6-5

 

[SomeDudeOTI]

Gotta hope they'll be able to get up for this one... just win.

 

[McGhostbuster]

Then we still lose 6-5

Nah, we do okay if we score more than 3 goals. It'll be 6-2.

 

[Throttlehead]

Fragile team, lets see who scores first.

 

[CornKicker]

we only have to score 3 goals, the isles only have 2 ex oilers who are pretty much guaranteed to score, Eberle and Ice Cheetah. well Barzal should have been an oiler but whatever, score 4 and let JT get a couple pts for my fantasy team.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

I think this team gets TMac fired at the end of this 11 game span.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

lol at people thinking Eberle has a big night.

Have we not learnt that nothing can motivate him to step up when it counts?

 

[OilCountry93]

Almost guaranteed that Eberle lights up our currently suspect goaltending and always craptackular D. 6-1 Isles. Eberle x 2, Barzal, Ladd, Chimera, Leddy score for NYI; Kassian gets the lone goal. Greiss saves 38/39 because you know, “our Corsi is great, it’s just been bad luck.” FML. Way to go Chia, what a team you’ve built.

Except, you know, the World Juniors.

Getting goosebumps watching sportsnet on Doc Halladay, RIP Doc

Long way from the NHL.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Slepyshev still injured. Good start. Not out for warmup. Malone in.

Cagguila with RNH and Lucic.
Jokinen - Strome - Pakarainen
Malone - Letestu - Kassian

Woof.

Just terrible news. Great pitcher and person. He was the only reason to watch the Blue Jays during the Ricciardi years.

 

[Chet Manley]

7-2 oil. Light'm up boys

 

[doulos]

Easy win night for the Oilers. The turnaround starts tonight.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

wtf is with tmac refusing to let drai run his own line?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Official forward lines

Maroon - McDavid - Drai
Lucic - RNH - Cagguila
Jokinen - Strome - Pakman
Malone - Letestu - Kassian

That 3rd line.....my word....
