GDT: McTROOPER. Oilers v Jets Game Two. May 21, 7 PM.

[BudBundy]

Alright guys: get out there and play like ya mean it.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Yes... IMO Game 3 is must win, regardless of the outcome tonight.

Can't go 0-2 at home, that's a confidence killer

 

[CycloneSweep]

Need to treat this like an elimination game. A dominating win is what I'm hoping for and expecting.

None of this 1 or 2 goal nail biter crap.

If you are expecting a dominating win you will be dissapointed. Hellebuyck is in playoff form. It's going to be a 1-2 goal nail biter

 

[bucks_oil]

If they lose this game it's pretty much over.

Calling out this excessive negativity = loser attitude.

Why are you even thinking about them losing this game before they even hit the ice?

Filter negative thoughts... send positive energy!

Until you win game three and the tide swings.

Great GDT!

There are reasons to be optimistic for the game: it is VERY unlikely that the Jets will be able to keep McDrai scoreless again. If Hellebuyck has normal performance it will be a multiple scoring game for McDrai.
Smith was solid in first game, defence not that bad.
Normally nothing can go wrong

 

[9GWG9]

Better win boys. Already grouchy today.

 

[GingerJesus28]

Ok oilers

My first birthday wish of it not snowing here didn't come true

Please let my 2nd birthday wish of you guys winning tonight come true!!

Don't let a hardcore fan down on his bday!!

 

[Stoneman89]

We need to win so we can feel really good about the Leafs being in a hole!

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Winnipeg will be expecting us to come out hard and hope Hellebyuck saves their asses to a scoreless first.
Then they'll bank on some flukey point shot going in on their way to a 1-0 or 2-1 win.

We gotta break this goalie. Need to put the game out of reach for the Jets early.

 

[Oilers in NS]

I'd love to see Connor chip the puck in the corner and lay Pionk out. He can get quite nasty when he's frustrated.

Yes sir
I just have flash backs when he broke his hand that time fighting in junior

Just clicked on the thread to find the Maiden theme this morning, was only an hour before that the GF (who isn’t a metal head) said “I don’t know why, but I have ‘Run to the Hills’ stuck in my head.”

Gotta be a good omen, right?

[GOilers88]

Obviously I love McDavid but I want more Pizza Points. Hope this kid tops off his awesome return season by breaking out when it counts.

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Huge game. Must win.

Dont love the rumoured lines. I would be pretty annoyed if Kass gets put on the first line on "reputation".

 

[CycloneSweep]

The rumored lines have Kassian on the third line

 

[PULSATING]

The resident weaklings already preparing for a loss. NOT ME, FRIG WOOO, JUST WIN BABY.

I don’t hate the idea of Kass getting another shot on the top line.

But I thought the rumored lines yesterday in practice were
Kahun-Mcdavid-Draisaitl
Yamamoto-RNH-Pulju

I have no doubt if the Oilers aren’t leading after 1 we will see Mcdavid and Draisaitl rolled out together for about 30 minutes

 

[BlackDogg]

Its definately in their head. Oilers had a bit of zip once they tied it, for a few shifts, then done.

No energy prior to that and not much after.

 

[Forgot About Drai]

The rumored lines have Kassian on the third line

Thank god. Got forwarded some lines today that had Kass on line 1. Was triggered.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Thank god. Got forwarded some lines today that had Kass on line 1. Was triggered.

Kassian on the third line is probably too high for him as is

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Kassian shouldn't be on the 5th line. Taxi squad.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Kassian shouldn't be on the 5th line. Taxi squad.

He should be on a plane to Seattle.

5 point night for McDavid tonight and we all feel better about things.
