Pre-Game Talk: I Have a Confession

[Ol' Jase]

Not even sure why those fans deserve a send off, can you imagine a city being offered a privately funded entertainment district and no? The city of Edmonton paid 312 million dollars.

Arizona can **** off

Well, I’m old enough to remember how close we were to losing our team, so I can empathize strongly.

I feel sorry for those down there who are true fans just like we have up here.

Unfortunately, there just isn't very many of them at all.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

A black and white t-shirt is a very fitting send off for the Yotes. Too cheap to even have some colour on them.

I remember a friends mom giving me and my friend an envelope of money to go donate to the Oilers lol

Warren Foegele needs one goal to reach 20 for the first time in his career. Evan Bouchard needs two goals to become the fourth Oilers defender with 20 goals. He’d join Paul Coffey (48, 40, 37, 29, 29) and Sheldon Souray (23) and Charlie Huddy (20). Ryan Nugent-Hopkins needs two goals to reach 20 goals for the 6th time in his career.

Okay Leon get your linemates the puck tonight

 

[Sanchez]

Guess he forgot about Kane lol

 

[Despote]

Let's end that pathetic franchise for good. Broberg hatty

I like to lightly burn my popcorn because I like how it tastes.

I also enjoy lightly charcoaled popcorn

Until the new and improved expansion Yotes rise from the ashes in a few years.

What would their new team name be?

The “Scottsdale Seance”?

The “Arizona Apparitions”?

The “Phoenix Phantoms”?

The “Sedona Souls”?

The “Mesa Mirage”?

Okay I’m done now

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I can understand "resting" Ceci/Nurse... But otherwise that's basically a full lineup.

Why?

One more game testing those top two lines since the last game is impossible to draw any conclusions from. Doubtful tonight is a great measure, but I'm sure the Coyotes will put up a much better fight for their last game in Arizona than the Sharks did, and possibly a bigger fight than even Colorado might muster up tomorrow as well.

 

[yukoner88]

I wonder if we should somehow make a sad puppy face of the Coyotes logo, and post it with that Sarah McLachlan in the background

 

[FlameChampion]

Take a rest Nurse. Well earned

Hopefully Ekholm picks up his slack

You are not alone regarding this!

How about Steam. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na...... hey, hey ,hey.....goodbye!

Not sure we have enough cap to sit too many out.

Some guys like McDavid, Draisaitl, Ekholm etc shouldn’t be playing though. Stupid risk.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I dont know if its getting older or what, but Im starting to put and hot sauce on EVERYTHING.
Maybe life is just so bitter and numbing that hot sauce is the only thing that makes me feel anything.


My inlaws noticed everything I put hot sauce on, is just a vessel for carrying more hotsauce be it popcorn, pizza.

So I took that as permission to drink half of my brother-in-laws sriracha bottle.



And I don't have some insane spicy tolerance. I'm addicted to the pain.

Nvm I feel like I told this story already

Maybe the big guns will be rested tomorrow night ? Hopefully.

Cap not an issue. It costs us like $8000 against the cap (or as much as $12K if it was Campbell) to call up a player with 2 days left in the year. The coach/GM just don't want to.

They can't sit with everyone due to only having a limited # of call ups, but I do agree.

They've still got 2 more call up spots, there's no reason why Gags and one of Hamblin/Lavoie/Campbell shouldn't have also been on the plane with Broberg to ARI.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Curious to see how Broberg-Stecher look.

Spicy take, BUT IF the Oiler's lack of footspeed on the blueline starts to get exposed, I wouldn't be surprised to see both in for Ceci and Vinny.

What that looks like:

Ekholm-Bouchard
Kulak-Nurse
Broberg-Stecher

Yeah I wouldn’t of minded Lavoie and Pederson.

And Rodrigue in the last game (Campbell would be fine too but I think that ship has sailed).

When Skinner started vs. the Sharks, I was convinced he wasn't even boarding the plane to Arizona and the one of the two goalies were meeting them to backup one of the games and start the other.

That said, if Edmonton is confirmed as not playing until Monday as rumored, then I don't see as much an issue having Skinner play the extra game vs what everyone had assumed would be an equal split for the final 6 games.
