GDT: Oilers @ Blues 6pm Mt

[Faelko]

In the last 11 years there have been 36 teams that have had 16 or fewer points after 20 games. Only one of those teams went on to make the playoffs.

But according to betting odds, We are still one of the top 5 or 6 contenders, to win the cup..
Checked a lot of sites, and most still have the OILERS right up there...
Why is that...

It’s all based on betting action. If the Oilers were getting tons of action at 6-1, they’d shrink the odds. Alternatively, if they aren’t getting any action the books will increase the odds to try and increase betting.

I'll have my out, watch and cheer hard in the first. Once McDavid pots a point or 2. I'm going str8 to movie night cuz we know whats happenin next. #AHL

Between bandana guy, zoo animals, and the McDavid toaster I don't see how a winning streak isn't inevitable.

 

[ElysiumAB]

Oh, and in Thanksgiving spirit, anyone in Canada should be thankful they don't have to watch tonight's game on NBC. It's the worst. Like way way way worse than Remenda - and that's saying something.

Boys pound the blues tonight , trying to take heat off there gm

Oilers pretty much have to win the next 2 to be within the 5 points of a playoff spot by american thanksgiving.

Or lose the next 2 to be within 5 points potentially of first place in the lottery odds.

Did you guys hear the rumors of McDavid missing yesterday's practice because of an illness?

There's been a flu bug going around the team. He's missed a couple of off days because of it.

Not a rumour, truth. McLellan said McDs been sick for last 10 days, missed last 3 practices.

 

[BlackDogg]

Not a rumour, truth. McLellan said McDs been sick for last 10 days, missed last 3 practices.

And the team has been going in and out of consciousness as a result...

Not sure what it is, probably the fortunes of this club and the other one but I'm not enthused about the prospect of another game. I'm starting to associate Edmonton teams with pain. Its not exactly been fun.

I'll do what I usually do. set the pvr to station, start watching later and just FF through the ugly bits. This way I also minimize how much I have to hear Remenda and Quinn.

 

[McFlash97]

Probably got sick of the tweets from Spector and co. Just said f*** it I'm out called in sick. No point being twice as good as the next best player on your team.

 

[McBeastMode]

Half an hour until WTF......was he thinking...

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Got me a donair for the game tonight. Now I just need the Oilers to win.

 

[ZJuice]

I put all of my Sportsbook moneys on the Oilers cause I hate myself

 

[NeverForget06]

This time last year is when this team really took off. Hoping for the same, but expecting to be disappointed

I work nights, so I leave the GDT open in my browser, from the previous day.
Refresh it in the morning and basically, get the play by play from you guys..

Hope you didnt have much in your account....

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Go Oilers! Don't make me regret staying up all night..

 

[KCC]

This game is on NBC in the States. Glad everyone else will be able to see just how bad this team is.
