GDT: LXII | "2½ Hours Where Nothing Exciting Happens" | Oilers vs. Wild | 6:00PM | SN-OIL

[Del Preston]

Teddy Purcell in a race for the puck is the hockey equivalent of the OJ Simpson slow-speed chase.

 

[Klimando Kostani]

Anyone wanna recap the quality of our play, I missed everything

 

[Mr Positive]

I really want Nelson's coaching record to be a hair above .500, especially with all these injuries lately so its blatantly obvious to management upstairs that this team has a real coach on the bench

Yes this! I want Nelson to coach next season and pulling out some wins will help that

Top line looks pretty good but the other ones are struggling. It's very obvious that we are missing 1/3 of our top 9

[McDrai]

Yeeeeeeeessssssss!

Obviously the players want to win every game, as they should, but as a fan I am removed enough from the day to day of losing to realize the obvious truth that losing now is what's best for the team long term. Winning tonight literally means absolutely NOTHING, while losing helps us move one step closer to fixing our center problems for the next decade.

I can't believe some people think winning a meaningless game is more important than the future of the team. Ridiculous.

At the end of the day though, it's not up to fans to decide whether or not we win the game. You say the players obviously win, so when they do win, you blame them?

 

[Klimando Kostani]

1-0-0 without yak, cancer in the room, need to trade, addition by subtraction

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

We win. Cool.

 

[Supermassive]

In your face, Dubnyk!

Stop laughing, Dubnyk!

 

[mzappa]

Thank you Edmonton

 

[Philly85*]

Wasn't expecting that

No I don't blame them at all. I'm happy for them in fact. But as a fan, I'm not happy for the franchise

 

[McTrashBoat]

Awesome! The Dubnyk curse is over!

 

[OttawaOilers]

Great Job Boys.

 

[White Out 403*]

Thanks!!!

mmmmmhmmmmmm the taste of victory is oh so sweet!! (much like oreo ice cream )

I know you're joking but man we need Yakupov back. That 2nd line was not good. We need Lander back too. We are definitely hurting

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

For us to guarantee McEichel we would literally have to lose every game this season and then some. Might as well end the season on a high note and have the team enjoy playing hockey then get a young guy who might be great for us in a few years.

 

[AJGass4]

Only downfall, helped the framers but oh well, good for scrivens.

 

[shoop]

In your face, Dubnyk!

Stop laughing, Dubnyk!

Yes.

I wouldn't mind Doobie crashing to earth right about now.

Let him play .500 over the rest of the season, cuz Devan Dubnyk.

 

[RattsSSV]

Good game. Glad to see the boys win. Big game by Scrivs.

 

[yukoner88]

Yes.

I wouldn't mind Doobie crashing to earth right about now.

Let him play .500 over the rest of the season, cuz Devan Dubnyk.

I wish Dubey well, but I feel he owes us a few soft goals. There were plenty of opportunities for it this game too. I saw a limp wrister from Hendricks and all I could think was that if Dubnyk were in Edmonton that could have gone in.
